Abstract
To celebrate International Women’s Day, here’s a guest essay from Marij Swinkels on the barriers still facing female leaders.
More than 90 percent of our political leadership positions are held by men. If this trend continues, future generations will grow up with male role models as leaders of their countries. Scientific studies have started to explore why this is the case, why it is that more men are in political leadership positions than possible female counterparts, and what, if anything, can be done to recalibrate and strike a balance within our systems. These findings suggest that the answer, in part, lies in the choices we make in politics.
