The Effect of Mayoral Gender on Gendered Budget: Evidence from South Korea

Politicians’ individual traits can influence policy outcomes. A local mayor has authority over the budget process and can affect the municipal budget allocation. This study empirically examined whether the mayor’s gender affected the gendered budget in Korean cities between 2016 and 2020. Across various econometric designs, our results revealed little evidence that mayoral gender (women, in this case) affects the formulation and execution of the gendered budget. The results imply that the effects of female representation through a female leader are dependent on various socioeconomic contexts.

Reflections on Motherhood and Leadership During the COVID-19 Pandemic

This chapter explores the impact of motherhood on the professional identities of female leaders during the COVID-19 pandemic. It focuses on five principles related to parenting a young child that one might apply to one's experiences as a female leader during the COVID-19 pandemic: 1) listen with your eyes, 2) recognize that not knowing is part of growing, 3) release the need for perfection, 4) engage in restorative rituals, and 5) focus on those things that are within your control. It also expands upon the notion that creating an emotional climate where faculty, staff, and administrators can bring their “whole selves” to work would be beneficial, both during a pandemic and beyond.

Female leader popularity and the vote, 1996–2016: a global exploratory analysis

Female politicians are assumed to suffer from gender bias in the political arena but existing research finds little evidence of an electoral cost to being a female candidate. Existing studies, however, have focused mostly on candidates, not leaders for top political office. Also, most evidence on this topic comes from a small number of countries. Using data from the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems Integrated Module Dataset, covering 600 leaders in 46 states globally over 20 years, we show that even though female party leaders are, on average, more liked than male leaders, this advantage is limited to experienced politicians. Furthermore, we demonstrate that despite this popularity advantage, parties that have a female leader do not appear to benefit from their leadership electorally.<br /><br />Key messages<br /><ul><li>We find that female leaders are, on average, more liked than male leaders.</li><br /><li>This popularity advantage of female leaders is limited to experienced politicians.</li><br /><li>Citizens are not more likely to vote for a party with a female leader.</li></ul>
