dc.description.abstractEl presente trabajo pretende estudiar la discriminación de género desde la perspectiva del reconocimiento público del mérito medido mediante la concesión de órdenes civiles —los incentivos más importantes otorgados por los Estados— en España, tanto a escala nacional como autonómica. Nuestros resultados confirman que existe un sesgo estructural severo y no convergente contra las mujeres en el otorgamiento de las órdenes y medallas civiles, a pesar del hecho de que en muchos campos (como el sistema judicial, el sistema nacional de salud, etc.) el porcentaje de mujeres es casi igual al de los hombres. Discutimos la conveniencia de introducir un sistema de cuota femenina en el sistema de propuestas a una condecoración como medida para superar este sesgo de género.
dc.description.abstractThe present paper represents an attempt to study gender discrimination from the perspective of public recognition of merit measured through the bestowing of civil orders—the single most important incentives awarded by states—both at the national and regional level in Spain. Our results confirm that there is a severe and non-converging structural bias against women in the bestowing of civil orders and medals, despite the fact that in many fields of awarding (such as the judicial system, the national health system, etc.) the percentage of women is nearly equal to that of men. We discuss the convenience of introducing a female quota in the number of proposals to awards as a measure to overcome the current gender bias.
