FACTOR OF "BONAPARTISM" PREVENTS ARMENIAN WOMAN TO TAKE UP LEADING POST
YEREVAN, APRIL 15. ARMINFO. "There is a factor of "Bonapartism" in
Armenia, which is one of the obstacles for women to take up a leading
post", stated Head of Armenia's National Statistical Service Stepan
Mnatsakanyan during Apr 15 presentation of "Women and Men of Armenia -
2003" book answering ARMINFO's question.
In his words, in 2003-2004 most of students of secondary professional
and high educational institutions were women - 69.7% and 55.8%
respectively. However, a very little percent of women become leaders
in any organizations irrespective of the sphere of activity. Speaking
about problems of gender statistics, Mnatsakanyan noted that it is
practically absent in the sphere of business, ulterior employment,
there are no data on trafficking and illegal migration, too.
To note, 3/4 of working population in Armenia's regions are women,
however, none of them hold a post of governor. 82-83% of members of
political parties are men, women totaled only 5% of Armenian
Parliamentarians. "Women and men of Armenia - 2005" statistical book
is published in Armenian and English by Armenia's NSS, at the
assistance of Armenian Ministry for Labour and Social Affairs and by
financial means of UNDP Yerevan Office and Swiss International
Development Agency (SIDA).
