Abstract
ABSTRACT Three years ago, the COVID-19 pandemic caused huge loss of life and affected people’s daily lives. Scholars argue that the pandemic affected women and men differently in many ways, including in political life and in decision-making processes. This article aims to analyse the percentage of women elected as MPs in the parliaments of Western Balkans countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. This percentage is compared with the percentage of women elected before the COVID-19 pandemic and with the EU countries’ average. Comparison and analysis of the scientific works, legislation, and statistical data on women’s participation in the parliaments of these countries demonstrate an increased average percentage of women elected as MPs in their parliaments after elections held during COVID-19.
期刊介绍：
International Review of Sociology is the oldest journal in the field of sociology, founded in 1893 by Ren Worms. Now the property of Rome University, its direction has been entrusted to the Faculty of Statistics. This choice is a deliberate one and falls into line with the traditional orientation of the journal as well as of the Institut International de Sociologie. The latter was the world"s first international academic organisation of sociology which started as an association of contributors to International Review of Sociology. Entrusting the journal to the Faculty of Statistics reinforces the view that sociology is not conceived apart from economics, history, demography, anthropology and social psychology.
