Women’S Representation

Affirmative action is a solution to reducing gender disparities in various fields including politics. Efforts to increase women's representation are important in providing justice for women for their political rights, by producing policies that protect women's political rights. The indicator set by the Sustainable Development Goals for gender equality is the number of women's representation in parliament. This research is motivated by the condition where the number of members of the Serang City DPRD for the 2019-2024 period is only 8 women from a total of 45 members or 17%, where this number has not met the 30% quota for women. This study aims to determine the affirmative action taken to reduce gender disparities in politics. The research method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with interactive data analysis techniques. This research finds that from a policy perspective, both the central and local governments have made efforts to carry out affirmative action in the political field even though women's participation in politics is still low. This is inseparable from obstacles in the form of public perceptions of the quality of female cadres, women's self-distrust, factors of family support and family background. The study also found that strengthening the role of political parties through socialization, gender-biased political education and the involvement of female cadres in organizational activities and community empowerment activities can have an effect on reducing the stigma of gender disparity in politics

Fulfillment of women's political rights is a precondition for the realization of democratic representation which is balanced between men and women. The Regency of Subang is based on the results of the election in 2014, only a percentage of 16%. Therefore, this study aims to determine the implementation of the policy of women's representation in the General Election of Subang DPRD Members.This research uses qualitative method with descriptive approach. The data idan information obtained will be analyzed according to Miles and Huberman data analysis techniques consisting of data reduction activities, data presentation.The results showed that the fulfillment of women's representation in Subang Regency reached 41.74%, while the fulfillment of women's representation by the Gerindra Party reached 40.82% which showed that the policy of women's representation could be implemented well by the Gerindra Party because it was supported by communication, resources, dispositions and bureaucratic structure.The fulfillment obstacle arises both from internal party parties who have not been able to create an effective recruitment process or from women who are not ready to be involved in practical politics because the existing regeneration system has not been running systematically and sustainably. Meanwhile, to create quality control for women candidates, the Gerindra Party seeks to create a rigorous selection process through the stages of screening, screening, and verification.

Elected Office

The leading explanation for the underrepresentation of women in American politics is that women are less likely to run for office than men, but scholars have given less attention in recent years to the gender makeup of the pipeline to elected office. We examine the gendered pipeline to power across three potential candidate pools: lower-level officeholders, those named in newspapers as likely candidates, and lawyers who made political contributions. We find some evidence that women are less likely to seek elected office; however, the dearth of women in the pipeline plays a much greater role in the lack of women candidates. For the gender disparity in candidates to close, women have to be far more likely to run for office than men, particularly on the Republican side. Our results highlight the need to consider the gendered pipeline to power alongside rates of entry in studies of women’s underrepresentation.

In addition to the professionalism element, the portion of certain ministries for the party supporting the presidential candidate will influence the presentation of women's representation as ministers in the government cabinet. This article aims to describe the problematic placement of women as ministers in Indonesia and the effective percentage of representation of women as ministers in a government cabinet. The analysis will be carried out normatively using a statutory, historical, and conceptual approach. The results of the study show that until now, women's representation had been accommodated in every government cabinets. However, there is no fixed number of women as ministers. Women tend to occupy ministries that dealt with nature and social life. Therefore, it can be done a special action (affirmative action) in the form of determining the minimum limit of the number of women's representation in a government cabinet. In addition, the determination of the composition of the government cabinet is also based on the zaken cabinet. Selain unsur profesionalitas, porsi kementerian tertentu bagi partai pengusung calon Presiden akan mempengaruhi presentasi keterwakilan perempuan sebagai menteri dalam kabinet pemerintahan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menguraikan problematika penempatan perempuan sebagai menteri di Indonesia dan presentase efektif keterwakilan perempuan sebagai menteri dalam suatu kabinet pemerintahan. Penelitian ini  menggunakan analisa  secara normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan, sejarah serta konseptual. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa hingga saat ini, keterwakilan perempuan telah diakomodir dalam setiap kabinet pemerintahan. Akan tetapi, tidak ada jumlah yang tetap terhadap presentase perempuan sebagai menteri. Perempuan cenderung menempati kementerian yang berhubungan dengan kodrat dan kehidupan sosialnya. Oleh sebab itu, dapat dilakukan suatu tindakan khusus (affirmative action) berupa penentuan batas minimal jumlah keterwakilan perempuan dalam suatu kabinet pemerintahan. Selain itu, penentuan komposisi kabinet pemerintahan juga harus didasarkan pada kabinet zaken.

In this introductory chapter of Gender and Representation in Latin America, Leslie A. Schwindt-Bayer argues that gender inequality in political representation in Latin America is rooted in institutions and the democratic challenges and political crises facing Latin American countries. She situates the book in two important literatures—one on Latin American politics and democratic institutions, the other on gender and politics—and then explains how the book will explore the ways that institutions and democratic challenges and political crises moderate women’s representation and gender inequality. She introduces the book’s framework of analyzing the causes and consequences of women’s representation, overviews the organization of the volume, and summarizes the main arguments of the chapters.

AbstractAchieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a long-term task, which puts forward high requirements on the sustainability of related policies and actions. Using the text analysis method, we analyze the China National Sustainable Communities (CNSCs) policy implemented over 30 years and its effects on achieving SDGs. We find that the national government needs to understand the scope of sustainable development more comprehensively, the sustained actions can produce positive effects under the right goals. The SDGs selection of local governments is affected by local development levels and resource conditions, regions with better economic foundations tend to focus on SDGs on human well-being, regions with weaker foundations show priority to basic SDGs on the economic development, infrastructures and industrialization.
