El porcentaje de mujeres en los parlamentos en los países de Asia-Pacífico es de los más bajos del planeta. Sin embargo, varios de estos países cuentan con una larga tradición de mujeres jefas de gobierno. Las principales causas que normalmente se atribuyen a la ausencia de mujeres en las esferas políticas son la existencia de sistemas electorales de tipo plurality y las resistencias a la adopción de cuotas. Esto último se ve afectado a su vez por determinadas actitudes políticas hacia la participación de la mujer en la vida pública y hacia determinadas concepciones de autoridad, presentes en los países de Asia. Estos elementos pueden afectar a la participación de las mujeres en política en general y a la participación de las mujeres en los puestos de toma de decisión en particular. Este estudio comparado analiza a través de un análisis estadístico el impacto de factores institucionales - propios del sistema electoral y del régimen político- socioeconómicos y de la posición de la mujer en diferentes Estados de Asia Pacífico, sobre la participación de las mujeres en la vida pública estos países.

The percentage of women in Asia Pacific parliaments is the lowest in the world. Several of these countries, however, have a long tradition of women heads of government. Usually lower levels of woman presence in the political spheres are attributed to the existence of plurality type electoral systems and a resistance to adopt quotas. The latter in turn is affected by certain political attitudes towards the participation of women in public life and to certain conceptions of authority, present in Asian countries. These elements can affect the participation of women in politics in general and the participation of women in decision making positions in particular. In this comparative study uses a statistical analysis to measure the impact of institutional factors – such as the electoral system and the political regimen – socioeconomic factors and the position of women on the participation of women in public life the Asia Pacific region.
