Women in Government: A Comparative Analysis on Female Representation and Militarization Spending Across Countries

Kendall Kutzavitch

This research examines the relationship between female representation in government and militarization spending. Using statistical methods such as regression analysis, the study will assess whether higher percentages of women in government correlate with lower military expenditures while controlling for confounding variables. Anticipated findings may indicate a negative correlation, no significant relationship, or unexpected results. The conclusions could inform policy discussions on gender diversity in political leadership, national security, and international peace efforts.
