Overall, 56% of people agree with this sentiment, 26% of them strongly so. The strongest support comes from southern and eastern Europe - Hungary, Italy, Portugal and Slovenia, for example - with nearly 80% of Greeks agreeing, almost 60% of them strongly so. Nevertheless, there are exceptions to this regional pattern, with Poland and Spain recording lower-than-average support. Danes are by far the least likely to agree that older workers deny younger workers jobs, with about 25% support, of which only 11% is strong agreement. There is also a majority against the lump-of-labour hypothesis in Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, but it is a smaller one than in Denmark. Women are significantly more likely than men to believe that older workers deny younger people jobs.
