Gender Representation in Parliament and Management: A Comparative Analysis

The table provides data on the representation of women in parliament and management positions in five countries in the year 2000. The main features of the data are summarized below, along with relevant comparisons. In Canada, women held 54% of the seats in parliament and 36% of the seats in management. This indicates a higher representation of women in parliament compared to management. In Ukraine, the situation was different. Women held only 23% of the seats in parliament, but their representation in management was higher at 40%. This suggests a disparity in gender representation between the two sectors. Egypt, on the other hand, had a similar pattern to Canada. Women held 52% of the seats in parliament and 36% of the seats in management. This indicates a relatively balanced representation of women in both sectors. Rome, however, stood out with a significantly lower representation of women in parliament at only 10%. In contrast, women held a majority of 52% of the seats in management. This suggests a gender imbalance in political representation in Rome. Italy, the last country in the table, had 40% of the seats in parliament occupied by women and 25% of the seats in management. While women had a higher representation in parliament compared to management, the overall figures were still lower than in some other countries. In summary, the data shows variations in the representation of women in parliament and management across the five countries. While some countries had a relatively balanced representation, others showed disparities between the two sectors. These findings highlight the need for further analysis and efforts to promote gender equality in both political and managerial positions.
