Abstract

I examine how voters perceive gender differences in vote buying, using survey and interview data collected in the Dar es Salaam region, Tanzania. I find that (1) an overwhelming majority of voters disapprove of vote buying, yet view it as remaining prevalent, and (2) they view men as more active vote buyers, mainly due to the gender gap in vote-buying opportunities. The perceived opportunity gap appears to come from a much larger representation of men in electoral competitions, the perceived gender gap in resources, and the absence of women in certain places and times, due to social and cultural norms constraining women’s behaviours, safety concerns, and/or household responsibilities.

选民对贿选中性别差异的认知:以坦桑尼亚为例

我使用在坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆地区收集的调查和访谈数据，研究了选民如何看待投票购买中的性别差异。我发现(1)绝大多数选民不赞成贿选，但认为它仍然普遍存在;(2)他们认为男性是更积极的贿选者，主要是由于贿选机会的性别差异。人们所认为的机会差距似乎来自于男性在选举竞争中的比例更高，人们所认为的资源上的性别差距，以及由于社会和文化规范限制了妇女的行为、安全问题和/或家庭责任，在某些地方和时间没有妇女。
