INGUANZO, Isabel. WOMEN IN ASIAN POLITICAL SPHERES. anal.polit. [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.86, pp.74-94. ISSN 0121-4705. https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v29n86.58043.
The percentage of women in Asia Pacific parliaments is the lowest in the world. Several of these countries, however, have a long tradition of women heads of government. Usually lower levels of woman presence in the political spheres are attributed to the existence of plurality type electoral systems and a resistance to adopt quotas. The latter in turn is affected by certain political attitudes towards the participation of women in public life and to certain conceptions of authority, present in Asian countries. These elements can affect the participation of women in politics in general and the participation of women in decision making positions in particular. In this comparative study uses a statistical analysis to measure the impact of institutional factors - such as the electoral system and the political regimen - socioeconomic factors and the position of women on the participation of women in public life the Asia Pacific region.
