In this context, according to the results of the regression analysis done on the socio-economic factors, it was determined that the rate of women participating in the labor force and the rate of urbanization have a positive effect while the rate of women holding a bachelor’s degree have a negative one on the percentage of women representatives. In addition, the number of political parties in parliament that is one of the political factors and the dominant religion in the OECD countries (Christianity) that is one of the cultural factors have positive effect on the percentage of women representatives.

Özet

Bu çalısmada ulusal parlamentolardaki kadın milletvekili temsil oranını belirledigi varsayılan sosyo-ekonomik, siyasal ve kültürel faktörlerin etkisi OECD ülkeleri için analiz edilmistir. Bu kapsamda yapılan regresyon analizi sonucunda, sosyo-ekonomik faktörler içinde sayılan kadının isgücüne katılım oranı ve sehirlesme oranının pozitif yönlü, üniversite mezunu kadın oranının ise negatif yönlü olarak kadın milletvekili temsil oranı üzerinde anlamlı etkisi oldugu saptanmıstır. Siyasal faktörlerden biri olan parlamentondaki parti sayısının pozitif yönlü ve kültürel faktörler arasında sayılan OECD ülkelerindeki baskın din (Hıristiyanlıgın) degiskenin pozitif yönlü olarak kadın milletvekili temsil oranını anlamlı olarak etkiledigi belirlenmistir.
