PATRON SANCHEZ, Fernando  y  RODRIGUEZ GOMEZ, Katya. Gender parity and socioeconomic representation in subnational legislatures in Mexico: more equitable congresses?. Nóesis, Rev. cienc. soc. [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.63, pp.4-23.  Epub 01-Sep-2023. ISSN 2395-8669.  https://doi.org/10.20983/noesis.2023.1.1.

The article analyzes if gender parity in subnational legislatures in México has produced a more equitable social representation. It explores the plurality of gender parity in terms of socioeconomic differences, and female and male representation. Using data from Censo de Poderes legislativos Estatales 2020, the article classifies subnational legislators by socioeconomic levels and compared with CONEVAL’s methodology of social stratification in Mexico. The tested hypothesis is that gender parity has not produced a favorable impact on a more equitable political representation in socioeconomic terms so far. Female and male political representation continues to be dominated by upper socioeconomic levels.

Palabras llave : Subnational Legislatures; social divisions; descriptive representation; gender parity; social class.
