Abstrakt: This article provides the first analysis of gendered promotion issues for cabinet ministers using most‐similar systems design for three "Westminster‐style" governments: Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Using individual‐level data and controlling for biographical, institutional, and country effects we find, in common with earlier literature, that women are more likely to be given less prestigious cabinet posts and be assigned to "feminine" portfolio. Using both sequence and event history analysis, we see the careers of men and women starkly diverge. We find that women are less likely to be promoted than men but find no relationship between prestigious portfolio and promotion. However, feminine portfolio assignments decrease the promotion prospects for women yet increase them for men. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
