Combining data from nearly 100 interviews with national
parliamentarians from ten Asian countries, the contributors to this
book analyze and evaluate the advancement of gender equality in
Asia. As of the year 2022, no country in Asia has gender parity in
its parliament. Meanwhile, the proportion of national-level women
parliamentarians in Asia averages a mere 20%. What is more
important than simple descriptive representation, however, is
whether outcomes for women are improving. Rather than focusing on
numerical representation, the chapters in this book focus on the
substantive representation of women. In other words, what do women
and men parliamentarians do to advance women's well-being and
gender equality? Using semi-structured interviews, the author of
each chapter examines these efforts in the context of a specific
Asian country. The case studies include Bangladesh, Indonesia,
Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, the Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka,
Taiwan, and Timor-Leste. The book is an essential resource for
scholars and students of Asian politics and the politics of gender.
