Why do parties select certain profiles when recruiting ministerial advisers ? How does party type and ideology impact these choices ?

I highly recommend the reading of this brand new article in @plc-journal.bsky.social ‡️

♀️In 2021-2023, of the 24 research articles published in @plc-journal.bsky.social, only 3 were authored solely by women, all single-authored. In contrast, 10 were authored solely by men: 6 solo and 4 collaborative works. There were no all-female articles.

To understand discrimination in politics, we need to understand "strategic descriptive representation without substantive representation."

Because what is it worth when we have more women, minorities, or Muslims etc. in politics when they cannot stand for the issues that benefit their own groups?

πŸ‘‰The gender gap in political ambition is not self-evident; it can be overcome with socialization efforts in schools, youth party sections, but also families!

♀️♂️So can we promote equal participation of women and men in political roles (candidates or political advisors) and advance gender equality.

Why are men more keen in taking the political plunge than women?

πŸ™…β€β™€οΈNot because of the competitive nature of politics
➑️Rather driven by political interest, trust in one's political capacities, enjoying convincing others and teenage political discussions at home

♀️ Are women politicians in Belgium getting equal spotlight from their political parties on social media?

Short answer: not really πŸ‘Ž

πŸ“Š On average in Belgium, fewer than 1 in 3 posts by political parties on X that mention politicians actually feature a woman.
