Higher female representation in government during #COVID-19 was associated with lower likelihood of schools being closed due to their heightened awareness of costs of school closures

Women's political representation matters: Evidence from school closures during the pandemic. Natalia Danzer, Sebastian Garcia-Torres, Max Steinhardt, Luca Stella. 13 Nov 2024 The notion that politicians’ identity, including their gender, can influence policy outcomes is supported by a growing body of empirical research. This column reports a study exploring the extent to which the share of women members in national governments during the Covid-19 pandemic shaped the policy responses. Higher female representation was associated with a lower likelihood of schools being closed – not because women politicians were less concerned about the spread of the virus but due to their heightened awareness of the costs of school closures, notably for working mothers with young children. The results indicate the potential benefits of more gender-balanced governments in shaping policies that affect the wellbeing, education, and economic prospects of children and families.
