- Title
GENDER DIFFERENCES IN THE EQI DATA.
- Authors
AGERBERG, MATTIAS
- Abstract
Drawing upon previous research on gender and corruption, this report looks at gender differences in the 'Quality of Government institute' regional data on governance in Europe. By examining the raw survey material, containing 85000 respondents from over 200 NUTS regions in the EU, the report shows interesting gender differences with regard to corruption: Women, on average, perceive corruption levels as worse, report paying fewer bribes and have a lower tolerance for corrupt behavior, compared to men. These gender differences seem to exist in basically all countries included in the study. In the second part of the report, established theories of gender and corruption are tested in a multivariate model at the regional level in Europe, using the EQI index. The results indicate, in line with previous research, that the share of locally elected female politicians and the share of women in the labor market might have positive effects on the overall quality of governance.
