Abstract

ABSTRACT The inclusion of women ministers in cabinet is vital in redistributing political power and increasing participation. However, increasing the number of women ministers is insufficient; the type of portfolios also matters. In Malaysia, following the 14th general election, the number of women ministers almost doubled; this increase survived government turn-overs between 2020–2022, and the 15th general election. Using cabinet composition and budget data, and a customised typology of portfolio salience, this paper analyses women’s cabinet representation between 2008–2023, finding significant improvements after the 15th general election, and identifying imperatives for cabinet formation if participation is to be increased.

唯一的办法是上升:2008-2023年马来西亚内阁中女性的比例和职位

女性部长进入内阁对重新分配政治权力和提高参与度至关重要。然而，增加女部长的人数是不够的；投资组合的类型也很重要。在马来西亚，第14届大选后，女部长人数几乎翻了一番；这一增长在2020-2022年和第15次大选期间的政府换届中得以幸存。利用内阁组成和预算数据，以及组合显著性的定制类型，本文分析了2008-20123年间女性内阁代表性，发现了第15次大选后的显著改善，并确定了如果要增加参与度，组建内阁的必要性。
