Four national-level conditions were examined: gender equality, women with higher education, voice and accountability, and political ideology.\u00a0Findings reveal that no single condition is sufficient to explain WoB representation; rather, multiple configurations can lead to it. Gender equality consistently emerges as a central condition, while the influence of other factors is context dependent.\u00a0This multidimensional approach underscores the importance of intersecting social, political, and institutional dynamics in fostering gender-balanced leadership, offering key insights for policymakers and corporate leaders committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 5 and SDG 10).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"2153\">You can consult this research work <b><a href=\"https:\/\/power-observatory.pt\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Dissertation-Margarida-Esculcas-Simoes-2.pdf\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"2153\"><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-63019\" src=\"https:\/\/power-observatory.pt\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Captura-de-ecra-2025-09-30-173731.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"543\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/power-observatory.pt\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Captura-de-ecra-2025-09-30-173731.png 543w, https:\/\/power-observatory.pt\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Captura-de-ecra-2025-09-30-173731-480x679.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 543px, 100vw\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"2153\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We present the master\u2019s dissertation developed within the scope of the POWER Project, entitled \u201cCausal Configurations Leading to Women\u2019s Representation on Boards: A Fuzzy Set Approach\u201d, authored by Margarida Esculcas Pereira Gomes Sim\u00f5es and supervised by Professors Maria Jo\u00e3o Guedes and Dinis Macedo.
