DescriptionThis paper examines societal value consensus, or the extent to which individuals within a culture share similar values. This topic has been extensively theoretically discussed, but has received limited empirical attention. This paper explores the social variables of economic equality, religiosity and religious homogeneity and their relation to value consensus. Publicly available data from the latest wave of World Values Survey (N = 73,256), CIA world factbook and the World Bank World Development Indicators are used for analysis. Results reveal that value consensus is not correlated with religiosity, religious homogeneity or economic equality. Implications of these findings, with specific reference to economic developmental theories are discussed.
