Abstract

Studies on climate change mitigation and environmental degradation suggest that lifestyle changes in high-income countries can help promote environmental sustainability. Such changes may include material sacrifices on the part of the individual. Yet, accepting material sacrifices can be a challenging task for both individuals and countries. Can publicly provided economic protection facilitate the acceptance of such sacrifices? This study examines whether social insurance generosity is likely to make people more willing to accept material sacrifices for the sake of environmental protection. Using multilevel regression modelling to analyse data on social insurance programmes and attitudes towards material sacrifices in nineteen high-income countries, the results of the study suggest that social insurance generosity has a positive effect on attitudes towards accepting material sacrifices, with some variation across programmes and social groups.

社会和环境保护：社会保险的慷慨程度对接受为环境保护而做出的物质牺牲的影响

关于减缓气候变化和环境退化的研究表明，高收入国家改变生活方式有助于促进环境的可持续发展。这种改变可能包括个人的物质牺牲。然而，接受物质牺牲对个人和国家来说都是一项具有挑战性的任务。公共提供的经济保护能否促进人们接受这种牺牲？本研究探讨了慷慨的社会保险是否可能使人们更愿意为了环境保护而接受物质牺牲。利用多层次回归模型分析了 19 个高收入国家的社会保险计划和人们对物质牺牲的态度，研究结果表明，慷慨的社会保险对人们接受物质牺牲的态度有积极影响，但在不同计划和社会群体之间存在一些差异。
