Analysing Gender Dynamics Through Quantitative Methods in Djibouti's Political Transitions

This study examines gender dynamics in Djibouti's political transitions by analysing quantitative data. The study employs statistical techniques such as regression analysis and factor analysis to examine data from official governmental reports, including census records and political party manifestos. A mixed-method approach is used with secondary quantitative data supplemented by semi-structured interviews for in-depth understanding of gender dynamics. Gender disparities were evident in the number of women holding executive positions compared to their representation in legislative bodies (40% vs. 15%), indicating a need for increased female political participation and leadership development programmes. The findings suggest that while Djibouti has made progress in gender equality, significant challenges persist in achieving equitable representation across all levels of government. The government should implement targeted policies to enhance women's access to leadership roles and ensure their equal participation in political decision-making processes.
