What's the current gender etc. composition in your governments & parliaments ?

[Tender Branson]

Austria

Kurz-Strache government (16 members): 9x ÖVP, 7x FPÖ - (10/6) - 62.5% male, 37.5% female

Nationalrat (183): 64% male, 36% female

Current composition (183):

62 ÖVP (42/20) - 68% male, 32% female
52 SPÖ (28/24) - 54% male, 46% female
51 FPÖ (38/13) - 75% male, 25% female
10 NEOS (6/4) - 60% male, 40% female
  8 LiPi (4/4) - 50% male, 50% female

Bundesrat (60 + 1 vacancy): 62% male, 38% female

22 ÖVP (14/8) - 64% male, 36% female
19 SPÖ (11/8) - 58% male, 42% female
12 FPÖ (9/3) - 75% male, 25% female
  4 Greens (1/3) - 25% male, 75% female
  3 Indy (2/1) - 67% male, 33% female

(The Bundesrat composition will change by quite a bit over the next months because of the 4 state elections early this year. The final composition will be known after the Salzburg state parliament convenes in June or something.)

Very likely composition after June (61): 22 ÖVP, 21 SPÖ, 16 FPÖ, 2 Greens.

6 MotNR have a migration background: 3x of Turkish/Kurdish origin, 1x Palestine, 1x Bosnia, 1x Australia (3x SPÖ, 2x LiPi, 1x ÖVP). Of the 6, 5 were also born abroad. Only Muna Duzdar (SPÖ) was born in Vienna to Palestinian parents.

1 MotBR has a migration background: Ewa Dziedzic (Greens), was born in Poland.

A broadly similar picture.

New Zealand

Fifth Labour Government (20 members): 16 Labour, 4 NZ First - 65% male, 35% female

House of Representatives (120): 62% male, 38% female

Of which:
56 National (39/17) - 70% male, 30% female
46 Labour (25/21) - 54% male, 46% female
9 NZ First (7/2) - 88% male, 22% female
8 Green (2/6) -75% female, 25% male
1 ACT (1/0) - 100% male

National will change to (37/19) when the female replacements for English and Joyce are formally sworn in.

[Mike88]

Portugal

PS government (18 members): PS: 13 Ind: 5 - (15/3) - 83.3% male, 16.7% female

Assembly of the Republic (230 members): (154/76) - 67.0% male, 33.0% female

89 PSD (60/29) - 67.4% male, 32.6% female

17 CDU (10/7) - 58.8% male, 41.2% female
  1 PAN (1/0) - 100.0% male, 0,0% female

[Former President tack50]

Spain

Second Rajoy government (14 members)
PP: 12
Independents: 2 (Economics and industry; Foreign Affairs)

9 men (64.3%), 5 women (35.7%)

The women are in:
Deputy Prime Minister
Defense
Employment and Social Security
Agriculture, Farming and Fishing
Healthcare, Social Services and Equality

Congress of deputies (350 members)
212 men (60.6%), 138 women (39.4%)

135 PP (81/54): 60% men; 40% women
84 PSOE (48/36): 57.1% men, 42.9% women
67 Podemos (34/33): 50.7% men, 49.3% women
32 Cs (25/7): 78.1% men; 21.9% women

9 ERC (6/3): 66.7% men; 33.3% women
8 CDC (6/2): 75% men; 25% women
5 PNV (4/1): 80% men; 20% women
2 Bildu (1/1): 50% men; 50% women
1 CC (0/1): 100% women

4 Compromís (3/1): 75% men; 25% women
2 UPN (2/0): 100% men
1 Foro (1/0): 100% men
1 NCa (1/0): 100% men

Interesting that only the tiny Canarian Coalition has a majority female delegation (though with only 1 seat that's not exactly an achievement). Though Podemos is only 1 seat off, which considering they have an odd number of seats it's essencially 50-50.

Presidents of the autonomous communities

14 men (73.7%); 4 women (23.5%); 1 vacant (Catalonia) (5.9%)

The 4 women are the presidents of Andalucía, Balearic Islands, Navarra and Madrid.

89/348 including territorial delegates.

19.5%-80.5%

Women make up 35% of the Dem Senate caucus and 15% of the GOP caucus. In the House it’s 54% of Dems and 12% of Reps.

As for my Province of Ontario:


Provincial parliament (103 seats, 67/36): 65% male, 35% female

Liberal 55 (35/20): 63% male, 36% female
Progressive Conservative 28(22/6): 78% male, 21% female

New Democratic [12/56]: 33% women/66% men
Liberal [3/56]: 66% women/33% men

In addition, 4 members are visibly indigenous, including opposition leader Wab Kinew.

Finally, 2 members are of Filipino origin, while 1 member is of East Indian origin.

I'm sensing a bit of a pattern: Canadian and American conservatives aren't particularly #woke with regard to representation of women.

[Tender Branson]

(The Bundesrat composition will change by quite a bit over the next months because of the 4 state elections early this year. The final composition will be known after the Salzburg state parliament convenes in June or something.)

Very likely composition after June (61): 22 ÖVP, 21 SPÖ, 16 FPÖ, 2 Greens.

... this is exactly the new composition of the Bundesrat now, after all elections are completed.

The share of women dropped to 33% though, from 38% (mostly because the FPÖ made all the gains and they only appointed men for the Bundesrat).

[catographer]

Western European states have roughly 1/3th women. US, Canada closer to 1/5th. Interesting!

[EPG]

It seems like men are more successful in the countries that give voters the choice to vote for a single candidate of their choice (mainly N America, also UK). I wonder if open list systems provide any evidence to help answer this question? Are men more likely to win personal votes?

The single biggest issue is that, regardless of electoral system, women are less likely to run for office, I think. Women candidates tend to be as successful as male ones on average...when they run. Women may be 50% of the population but they don't seem to run for office as frequently as men do.
In a US or Canada context, there's also the fact that most longtime incumbents are men, and since incumbents have advantages, you'll see the incumbency factor compound everything else. That's because it turns what might be a 50/50 race between male incumbent and female challenger into a 60/40 race. The female might win but her chances of winning are diminished.

It seems like men are more successful in the countries that give voters the choice to vote for a single candidate of their choice (mainly N America, also UK). I wonder if open list systems provide any evidence to help answer this question? Are men more likely to win personal votes?

An attempted answer from Switzerland:

the Conseil National, elected with an open list system, has 64 women (32%)

the Conseil des Etats, which has individual mandates, has 7 out of 46 (15%)

On top of that, according to the Fors Centre analysis of the 2015 federal elections 60% of people's ballots had more men than women (9% had more women). Although that doesn't really say very much in itself seeing as 66% of candidates were men and the right wing parties, who did well, were even more disproportionately male.

For the most part, the conclusion seemed to be that where people did modify their ballots, it didn't usually either help or hurt women candidates

I guess it's much easier to reach gender parity proactively through the use of lists (through quotas) than in single member districts, which require relatively awkward stuff like All-women shortlists.

[Hatman 🍁]

As for my Province of Ontario:


Provincial parliament (103 seats, 67/36): 65% male, 35% female

Liberal 55 (35/20): 63% male, 36% female
Progressive Conservative 28(22/6): 78% male, 21% female
New Democrat 18 (10/8): 44% male, 55% female
Trillium 1 (1/0): 100% male
Independent 1 (1/0): 100% male
 

*** Ontario Provincial Parliament has 107 seats, 4 vacant

This should be updated for the this month's election:

Ontario: 75 males / 49 females (60% / 40%)

Cabinet: TBD
PCs 51/25 (67%/33%)
NDP 20/20 (50%/50%)
Liberal: 3/4 (43%/57%)
Green: 1/0 (100%/0%)

[Tender Branson]

As for my state of Salzburg:

State government (7 members, 4/3): 57% male, 43% female

State parliament (36 seats, 22/14): 61% male, 39% female

11x ÖVP (6/5): 55% male, 45% female
  9x SPÖ (4/5): 44% male, 56% female
  7x Greens (4/3): 57% male, 43% female
  9x Indys (ex-FPÖ, FPS and TS: 8/1): 89% male, 11% female

3/36 have a migration background: Kimbie Humer-Vogl (Greens) was born in South Africa, Nicole Solarz (SPÖ) has Polish parents and Ingrid Riezler-Kainzner (SPÖ) was born in Germany.

I also need to update this, following the state election on April 22 and the swearing-in of the new state government and parliament on June 13:

State government (7 members, 5/2): 71% male, 29% female

(4 ÖVP men + 1 ÖVP woman, 1 Green man and 1 NEOS woman)

State parliament (36 seats, 22/14): 61% male, 39% female

15x ÖVP (10/5): 67% male, 33% female
  8x SPÖ (4/4): 50% male, 50% female
  7x FPÖ (5/2): 71% male, 29% female
  3x Greens (1/2): 33% male, 67% female
  3x NEOS (2/1): 67% male, 33% female

When state parliament and government are combined, SPÖ+Greens+NEOS each achieve gender parity at 50%, while ÖVP+FPÖ are not even close.
