\u2018Coronavirus tracked: How women leaders outperform men\nduring the pandemic<\/a>\u2019 The Independent reported at the end of July.\nThis followed on from articles such as \u2018Why Are Women-Led Nations Doing Better With Covid-19?<\/a>\u2019\nin the New York Times and \u2018What Do Countries With The Best Coronavirus Responses\nHave In Common? Women Leaders<\/a>\u2019 in Forbes. And now a research paper,\nconducted by two economists at UK universities, suggests this widely noticed\ntrend may have some truth to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, female leaders around the world have\nwon praise for their handling of the crisis. At the top of many people\u2019s prime\nminister wishlist right now is Jacinda Ardern. The 39-year-old\u2019s ability to ace\nany task, as well as her bed-time live streams to the nation, has helped New\nZealand lead one of the world\u2019s best responses to the virus. Angela Merkel\u2019s\ndealing of Covid-19 has won her high approval ratings and her off-the-cuff explanations<\/a> of epidemiological\nconcepts have been a joy. Finland, where Prime minister Sanna Marin, 34,\ngoverns with a coalition of four female-led parties, has had fewer than 10% as\nmany deaths as nearby Sweden. And Tsai Ing-wen, the president of Taiwan, has\npresided over one of the most successful efforts in the world at containing the\nvirus, using testing, contact tracing and isolation measures to control\ninfections without a full national lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of these reports, however, seemed to\nsimply be anecdotal until the research paper was released. The analysis found\nthat both the infection rate and death rate of Covid-19 were lower in countries\nrun by women compared to those run by men. In an effort to isolate the specific\neffect of having a female leader, they compared female-led countries to\nmale-led countries that are similar in population, geography, gender equality,\nhealth expenditures, and number of tourists. No matter how they sliced the\ndata, female-led countries fared better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the paper is compelling, it doesn\u2019t offer\nincontrovertible proof. Part of the reason it\u2019s so hard to say for sure is because\nthere are so few women leaders. Of 194 countries included in the researchers\u2019\nanalysis, just 19 of them (about 10%) are run by women. Ultimately, researchers\ncan\u2019t overcome the fundamental problems caused by the small sample size and we\nshould resist drawing conclusions about women leaders from a few exceptional\nindividuals. What\u2019s more, experts think that many countries are miscounting or\nmisrepresenting the number of people within their borders affected by the\nvirus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the findings do offer valuable lessons and\nencourage us to broaden our perspective. The researchers found that women seem\nto be more risk-averse and possibly feel more empathy. While male leaders seem\nto feel the need to appear \u201csuper-masculine and super-strong and inflexible in\nthe face of the pandemic\u201d, Farida Jalalzai, a political science professor who\nstudies women leaders, told Vox<\/a>. Women, on the other hand, may feel less\nof a need to live up to expectations of crisis management that are grounded in\ntraditional \u2014 even toxic \u2014 masculinity. Women leaders may be more able to say\nthings like, \u201cThis is a time that we need to come together, and we need to take\ncare of one another.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But probably the most interesting factor was\nthat having a female leader is a signal that people of diverse backgrounds \u2014\nand thus, hopefully, diverse perspectives on how to combat crises \u2014 are able to\nwin seats at that table. And that\u2019s crucial for a successful pandemic response.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devi Sridhar, the Chair of Global Health at\nthe University of Edinburgh Medical School, wrote in an op-ed in the British\nMedical Journal. \u201cThe only way to avoid \u2018groupthink\u2019 and blind spots is to\nensure representatives with diverse backgrounds and expertise are at the table\nwhen major decisions are made,\u201d she wrote. Greater involvement of women in\npositions of power results in a broader perspective on the crisis, and paves\nthe way for richer and more complete solutions than if they had been developed\nby a homogeneous group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Germany, for example, Angela Merkel\u2019s\ngovernment considered a variety of different information sources in developing\nits coronavirus policy, including epidemiological models; data from medical\nproviders; and evidence from South Korea\u2019s successful program of testing and\nisolation. As a result, the country has achieved a coronavirus death rate that\nis dramatically lower than those of other Western European countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That style of leadership may become\nincreasingly important. With the threats of climate change escalating, there\nwill likely be more crises arising out of extreme weather and other natural\ndisasters. Hurricanes and forest fires cannot be intimidated into surrender any\nmore than the virus can. And neither can climate change itself. Maybe the world\nis learning that a different kind of leader can be very beneficial \u2013 one that\nis risk averse, caring and thoughtful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, experts caution that women\nleaders, like women voters, aren\u2019t a monolith. Some female heads of state, like\nHong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam, have been criticized for their handling\nof the pandemic. And making the generalization that women are always better at\nhandling crises like the coronavirus runs the risk of setting a trap for female\nleaders \u2014 they\u2019re expected to perform better than men, so when they do well,\nit\u2019s just business as usual. And when they do run into trouble, whether it\u2019s\nwith the pandemic or some other challenge then the criticism of them might be\ngreater because the expectation set is that they\u2019re supposed to be better than\nmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Jalalzai, the attention on how women\nleaders are handling the coronavirus is a good thing. At the most basic level,\n\u201cPeople are now more aware of women leaders across the globe than they have\nbeen perhaps before.\u201d And overall, she sees more conversation around women in\npower. \u201cWe\u2019re at this point where we question the status quo and we question\npolitics as usual, and we are aware of how gender presents obstacles and are\nnot okay with that anymore,\u201d Jalalzai said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe the main two lessons from all this is\nthat diverse representation is best for balanced decision making and that it\u2019s\nprobably a good idea the number of female leaders increases, especially\nconsidering the complicated threats on our horizon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
