“…Gender bias and the mother's penalty were also revealed as the greatest challenge for women leaders in universities in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan (Kuzhabekova & Almukhambetova, 2019). Despite women's advancement in CE, the main obstacles to their political leadership are populism, illiberalism, and a departure from democratic values (Gwiazda, 2021). In CE public institutions, GS about women leaders are grounded on the social expectations about their primary mother's duties (Mihalčová et al, 2018).…”

This article aims at determining the influence of power distribution within families on women’s views of politicians. The work represents the first cross-cultural study of gender stereotypes about political leaders embracing post-socialist Central Asian and Central European countries. The responses of 6,869 women to the Life in Transition Survey III were analyzed using a quantitative research study. A multivariate linear regression model and correlation coefficients allowed us to identify the relationship between patriarchal and patrilocal families with a high level of gender stereotypes and the impact of individual women's decisions on their lower bias. No positive effect of spouses’ mutual decisions on the level of gender stereotypes was revealed. The theoretical importance of the work lies in expanding the existing knowledge about the influence of family power on women’s internal beliefs, which broadens the understanding of the Western Role Congruity Theory in emerging economies.

“…Thirty years into transformation, anti-liberal ideas became again evident in some parts of the CEE region (Coman and Volintiru, 2021). The rise in the popularity of populist parties can be observed throughout the EU, but in the CEE region, such parties, especially right-wing ones, are stronger than in the West, enjoying a significant increase in support and their representation in government (Santana et al , 2020; Gwiazda, 2021). An important element of the right-wing populism is related to the mobilization against “gender ideology” and the anti-gender campaigns (Graff and Korolczuk, 2021).…”

“…The CEE countries, with over 30 years of experience since the collapse of communism, pose an interesting region to reflect on and analyse female empowerment (Gwiazda, 2021). In the economic context, they tend to be perceived as a homogenous entity, yet these countries are quite diversified with respect to the quality of institutions (Doro_ zy nski et al, 2020).…”

Purpose As women’s position in the economy and society is often explained by cultural factors, this study aims to verify whether the observed changes in female empowerment in the region of Central and East European (CEE) countries of the European Union (EU) are associated with masculinity as a cultural trait. Design/methodology/approach The authors apply the k-means clustering method to group CEE countries into clusters with similar levels of female empowerment in two time points – 2013 and 2019. Next, the authors examine the clusters and cross-reference them with the national culture’s masculinity to explore the interrelations between female empowerment and cultural traits in the CEE countries and their development in time. Findings The analyses reveal that female empowerment is not uniform or stable across the CEE countries. The masculinity level is not strongly related to women’s position in these countries, and changes in female empowerment are not closely linked to masculinity. Originality/value Despite the tumultuous history of women’s empowerment in the CEE countries, the issues related to gender equality and cultural traits pertaining to the region are relatively understudied in the literature. By focusing on the CEE region, the authors fill the gap in examining the independencies between female empowerment and cultural masculinity.
