Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | This study written by Sílvia Claveria and published by the Coppieters and Josep Irla foundations proposes a feminist and comparative perspective on women in cabinets. It analyses the presence of women in European governments and asks why the topic is an important one. What is the state of play?0Even today, gender inequality in positions of political leadership persists, and less than 7% of presidents and prime ministers in the world are women. When it comes to advanced industrial democracies, at the time this study was drafted, only 13% of presidents and prime ministers were women.00In addition, even when women are ministers, they tend to be confined to portfolios that are usually perceived to be ?women?s issues?. According to UN Women, on 1 January 2021, out of the 1432 portfolios held by women ministers in the world, 101 were focussed on social affairs, 94 on family/children/youth/elderly/disabled and 70 on women?s affairs/gender equality. In comparison, only 23 were finance/budget portfolios and 29 were defence/veteran affairs.0Why are men overrepresented?00Many factors can explain this imbalance. They can be socio-cultural, such as women?s levels of education, their incorporation into the labour market, or more broadly, how far society considers women to be equal. Overall, inequalities between genders in society are directly reflected in governmental institutions. |
