Note(s): Table S2 shows that there is a significant difference between the 18–34 age group and those over 34 with regard to the evaluation of the integrity and fairness dimensions of our Quality of Government Support indicator (QgS). The 18–34 age group perceives these dimensions more positively, representing the values that should be respected in good governance policies. On the other hand, there is no statistical difference in terms of evaluation of the public policies performance and competencies, identified by the dimensions of reliability and responsiveness. Higher evaluations of fairness and integrity by the 18-to-34 age group may be the reason why the impact of QgS on Interpersonal Trust is higher for this group, as shown by the results in Section 3
