Abstract

ABSTRACT:In the course of three decades, the number of women elected to the Knesset nearly tripled from 7 in 1988, to 30 in 2021. The article analyzes changes in candidate selection methods and their effect on gender representation. Using a new dataset and a quantitative approach, we focus here on the 30 parties which competed in 12 general elections in Israel between 1992 and 2021 and the dependent variable that explains the proportion of female MKs elected from each party. Our analysis of methods in candidate selection while controlling for independent variables indicates that they have little effect on female representation. Other factors such as ideology and party affiliation are more relevant to the changes in the number of female MKs.

1992-2021年，候选人选择方法和妇女在议会中的代表性

摘要:在过去的30年里，以色列议会的女性议员数量从1988年的7人增加到2021年的30人，增长了近两倍。本文分析了候选人选拔方法的变化及其对性别代表性的影响。使用新的数据集和定量方法，我们在这里关注1992年至2021年期间参加以色列12次大选的30个政党，以及解释从每个政党当选的女性议员比例的因变量。在控制自变量的情况下，我们对候选人选择方法的分析表明，这些方法对女性代表性的影响很小。意识形态和政党归属等其他因素与女性议员数量的变化更为相关。
