An Analytical Study On Examination Of Gender Dynamics In Political Representation And Policy Development

Abstract

This study examines the impact of gender dynamics on political representation and policy development, focusing on the effectiveness of gender quotas and affirmative measures. Despite notable progress in increasing female and gender minority representation in political institutions, challenges persist. The research reveals that a majority of respondents believe increased gender representation enhances the inclusiveness and effectiveness of policy formulation and implementation. Additionally, gender quotas and affirmative measures are generally seen as effective in improving political representation, though skepticism remains regarding their success. The findings suggest that while gender diversity contributes positively to policy outcomes, challenges such as tokenism and resistance need to be addressed. The study recommends comprehensive implementation strategies, supportive measures, and regular evaluation to optimize the impact of gender diversity initiatives in politics.
