| Abstract | This research paper evaluates the effect political gender quotas on female labor force indicators in South America, specifically labor force participation (formal sector) and unemployment. There has been significant progress within the region, with respect to lessening gender inequality, however the focus on access to educational opportunities maybe overstating the reduction in current gender inequality indices and their calculations (UNDP, 2015). Instead of focusing on the impact education or access to educational attainment, this research specifically analyzes the impact of political gender quotas on the female labor force. To measure the impact of these quota policies, this paper will use World Bank and International Labour Organization data on female labor force participation and unemployment in South America (excluding Suriname, Guyana and French Guyana), to analyze pre and post policy effects and their significance. |
