A visualization constructed using the vega-lite-api.

The chart plots the retention rate of governmental cabinets of countries based on government type. The retention rate is taken as the 11-year average for each country for the years 2006-2016. Countries that experienced regime/system change during the 11-year window are excluded from the dataset.

The chart was designed to investigate the question "How does the ratio of females in cabinets different governmental systems?" Based on the chart, it appears as though Mixed Democratic, Parliamentary Democracies and Presidential Democracies have slightly higher ratios of females in cabinets while it appears that Military Dictatorships and Royal Dictatorships have lower ratios.

The data is a subset WhoGov's International Cabinets dataset. The dataset contains information about more than 50,000 cabinet members from 177 countries, spanning July 1966 - July 2016. There is a separate entry for each cabinet member, from each country, for each year. Each entry contains information such as party affiliation, gender, age and military affiliation. Data is ported from the International Cabinets dataset - reduced to only include country, retention and government.
