In this episode, we discussed female representation in government specifically gender quotas. We looked at what quotas are, how they work, and the various kinds of quotas. We interviewed Johanna Rickne, a Professor of Economics at the Swedish Institute for Social Research, Stockholm University. Professor Rickne spoke to us about the arguments for and against quotas, the different types of quotas, and the impact of the zipper quota that the Social Democrat party in Sweden adopted, and how that has impacted women's representation in government.
