This article investigates how gender role expectations and gender stereotypes affect a woman's decision to run for office in East Asian countries by using the World Values Survey and our original survey of MPs in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. Our analysis confirms that female MPs in all three countries are less likely to propose their own candidacy and the private sphere appears to count more for female MPs than for male MPs iii their decision to run for office. Moreover, this article indicates that Japan appears to have the most strongly gendered division between public and private roles. Korea presents itself as a polarized society, as voters are sharply divided on their acceptance of women's leadership. In contrast, Taiwan has the lowest level of gender stereotyping. We argue that the active role of political parties can compensate for the negative impact of gender norms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
