| Description | This report takes stock of women’s representation in politics over a 25-year span, since the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women took place in Beijing in 1995. The overall percentage of women in parliaments increased from 11.3 per cent in 1995 to nearly 24.9 in 2020. However, nine countries still have less than 5 per cent women in their parliaments. The largest progress in women’s representation has been achieved by Rwanda, the United Arab Emirates, Andorra and Bolivia. Although Europe is no longer in the lead as a region, the Nordic countries are the only sub-region to have over 40 per cent women parliamentarians. Sixteen of the top 20 countries with the largest share of women in parliament in 2020, apply some type of gender quota. Other incentives include policies to promote women’s recruitment and a more gender-sensitive political culture. |
