註釋Using an Ordinary Least Squares model, this study tested whether there was a statistically significant negative relationship between the existence of an electoral gender quota in a particular country and a high prevalence of gender inequality in five different types of social institutions: family code, civil liberties, physical integrity, son bias, and access to resources. This study showed little evidence for this hypothesis. There was no statistically significant relationship between electoral gender quotas and inequality in family code, son bias, and access to resources. There was, however, a small positive relationship between gender quotas and gender inequality related to physical integrity. The relatively recent introduction of electoral gender quotas in many countries, and the percentage of gender quotas that were enacted after conflict and during political transitions may have an impact on the ability for electoral gender quotas to mitigate gender inequality in many of the countries that have adopted this electoral mechanism.
