In recent years, women have gained ground in political representation thanks to developments such as the adoption of gender quotas.

New ANU research based on evidence from 30 OECD countries suggests that, despite a proliferation of measures designed to narrow the gender gap, no reform is sufficient on its own.

Dr Samira Nazar and Associate Professor Ashkan Zarghami, from the ANU College of Business and Economics, found four necessary conditions that are essential to foster women’s political leadership: high-quality elections, media freedom, strong civil society organisations and effective supervisory bodies.

“The key contribution of our paper is that no single mechanism is sufficient. Women’s political representation can only emerge from synergistic configurations of interdependent accountability structures operating together,” says Samira.

Only seven countries across the world have as many or more women than men serving in their national parliaments. Australia, despite being closer than ever to gender parity in politics, isn’t one of them.

“Progress has been uneven across the world,” says Dr Samira Nazar, a researcher at the ANU College of Business and Economics. “Places like Hungary, Japan, and Turkey, where women hold less than 20 per cent of parliamentary seats, show how fragile it can be.”

Drawing on evidence from 30 OECD countries, Dr Samira Nazar and Associate Professor Ashkan Zarghami found women’s political representation is strongest when multiple accountability mechanisms operate together, rather than in isolation.

“The key contribution of our paper is that no single mechanism is sufficient,” says Samira.

Mass incarceration is often described as a major cause of the racial wealth gap in the United States. New ANU research suggests both gaps may stem from a common source.

“Low income and the absence of any savings generate both the higher crime rate and the lower wealth,” says Associate Professor Cagri S. Kumru, an economist at The ANU Research School of Economics.

In his co-authored model, removing crime altogether barely shifts the share of Black individuals in the lowest wealth group. Equalising labour market conditions moves both the wealth gap and the crime rate together.

“The evidence points squarely at the labour market, earnings, employment security and the capacity to save over a working life, rather than the criminal justice system,” he says.
