Women and politics in Thailand

Thanks to Google Books I found another table supplementing one I posted earlier already on the ratio of male to female officials in the Thai administrative subdivisions. That table only showed the officials directly employed via the Ministry of Interior, the head(wo)men and the deputies as well as the subdistrict doctor, the local government entities were missing.

Now the table on page 134 of the book Women and politics in Thailand lists almost all the subdivisions except the provinces and districts, since those are not elected but appointed posts.

	Total number	% women
Provincial Council members	2,322	4.8
Municipality Council members	10,167	6.6
Sub-district heads	7,263	2.4
Village heads	61,344	3.3
Subdistrict Administrative Organization
• Board chairpersons	6,725	3.8
• members	127,594	6.7

The numbers are as of 2004 and originate from the Gender and Development Research Institute (GDRI).
