Gender quotas and the crisis of the mediocre man:
“our measure of competence relies on a comparison of the private income levels across people with the same education, occupation, age, and residence in the same geographical region (municipal council positions in Sweden are part-time commitments and members typically keep their private job). We define a competent politician as a person who makes more than the median income amongst politicians with similar characteristics.”
Income level as a proxy for competence.. Such ideological assumptions clearly invalidate their conclusion. Actually, gender quota seem to concentrate more power with the wealthy -instead of pushing out incompetent men.
