Does Women’s Underrepresentation in Local Government Matter? Review of what we know and should know in Portugal

This essay is based on a systematic literature review that identified 43 academic studies on local government in Portugal, where women’s underrepresentation subsists, despite the gender quotas (33,3%) introduced in 2006. The analysis, and the contact with the significant researchers on the subject, made it possible to understand why the Parity Law has a different impact on local government and on the national and European parliaments. It also explains the gaps in the existing studies, and identifies topics for future research.
