Abstract [en]

In January 1921, the Swedish government voted through a proposal that women should have the right to vote in general elections. The same year five women was given a place as a member of the parliament. Now almost 100 years later, around 46 percent of the parliament are women, but the way has been difficult. In this assignment the authors will be assessing the effects from support stockings, every other seat for a woman and women's organization through the Swedish parliamentary representation of women.The assignments analysis and empirical study are based on the equivalence between different time periods in between election years 1976 to 2018. During these election years the authors have selected a few, to analyze them and their political parties based on the women's representation. The research material is based on diagrams, parliament motions and budget from the parliament's website. This study has also used the theory of power, the gender power perspective and one gender system. The parliament motions where selected through the documents related to the women's representation and where selected through a randomization. The study found out that the support stockings, every other seat for a woman and women's organizations had some extent influence on the women's representation in the parliament of Sweden. An influence that you can see as a positive change for the future. Thanks to every other seat for a woman and the support stockings, the gender equality came up on the political agenda and have increased the women's representation since 1970s.
