Description
Extant research demonstrates that gender quotas do increase women’s descriptive representation in national legislatures, including in Latin America (Smith 2016; Mark et al 2012). However, how does this affect legislation? I use Chile’s national legislative database to determine laws classified as gendered legislation. Based on my findings, there is an overall increase in gendered legislation passed.
