Candidate Selection Methods and the Representation of Women in the Knesset, 1992–2021
ABSTRACT:In the course of three decades, the number of women elected to the Knesset nearly tripled from 7 in 1988, to 30 in 2021. The article analyzes changes in candidate selection methods and their effect on gender representation. Using a new dataset and a quantitative approach, we focus here on the 30 parties which competed in 12 general elections in Israel between 1992 and 2021 and the dependent variable that explains the proportion of female MKs elected from each party. Our analysis of methods in candidate selection while controlling for independent variables indicates that they have little effect on female representation. Other factors such as ideology and party affiliation are more relevant to the changes in the number of female MKs.

Israel Studies presents multidisciplinary scholarship on Israeli history, politics, society, and culture. Each issue includes essays and reports on matters of broad interest reflecting diverse points of view. Temporal boundaries extend to the pre-state period, although emphasis is on the State of Israel. Due recognition is also given to events and phenomena in diaspora communities as they affect the Israeli state. It is sponsored by the Ben-Gurion Research Institute for the Study of Israel and Zionism at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies at Brandeis University, in affiliation with the Association for Israel Studies.
