Gender Quotas and the Reform of the Welsh Legislature

crowd of figures in different colours

Dr William Daniel is Associate Professor in Comparative Politics. He has advised the Welsh government on its plans to promote gender equality under the expanded Senedd.

Drawing upon IAA-sponsored work published in his new co-authored monograph, Gender Quotas as Game Changers for the Recruitment, Selection, and Performance of Elected Politicians (Oxford University Press, 2025), his report on modelling the effectiveness of gender quotas was heavily cited in the Senedd’s Reform Bill Committee recommendation to support the adoption of gender quota legislation.
