| Abstract [eng] |
Very few women in Lithuania are involved in politics or top-level administration. The main aim of the study was to reveal relation between changes of attitudes of Lithuanians towards political participation of women and voting results in the elections. The study is based on comparative analysis of the results of three national representative surveys in Lithuania conducted in 1994, 2000 and 2009, some results are also compared with data of national representative survey in Belarus, conducted in 2009. The analysis of the results of the surveys and dynamics of women’s political participation showed that people of Lithuania are indifferent about women’s participation in politics and government, and, their opinion did not change substantially since 1994. During this period numbers of elected women to Parliament or municipal boards remained low. Attitudes of Lithuanian people determined low numbers of elected women, but had no influence on women’s success or failure in the particular elections held within this period. No radical means to increase the number of women in politics and government would be accepted by the population of Lithuania. Comparison of attitudes of Lithuanian and Belarusian people towards women’s political participation, showed that all they remain patriarchal, but progress of Lithuanian’s attitudes towards more democratic is greater. |
