Gender Parity in Public Administration in the Context of the Development of European Values in the Management System

Abstract. The issue of gender parity in the management system plays an important role in the world. The problem is raised at all levels and its solutions are always on the agenda. The dominance of men in high management positions in the 20th century has led to the fact that now gender equality is a matter of many scientific works. At the same time, the state apparatus always stood aside and was practically not touched. But there are enough problems with gender inequality. Ignoring this problem, today, will lead to a return to the days when professionalism was determined by gender and not by knowledge. The main task is to characterize the state of gender parity in the public administration system. The main purpose of the article is to evaluate the available statistical data on the gender ratio of men and women in the state authorities of Ukraine, as well as to calculate the coefficient of gender asymmetry in the management system. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the essence of gender policy in the system of public administration and governance should not be aimed at «highlighting» a woman's status in front of men in a special way, but to ensure an optimal balancing of the participation of both the former and the latter in making any decisions. in the management system, thereby establishing appropriate equity. Women and men should not be «special» to stand out in the management system and in the field of public administration. Consideration should be given to professionalism, competence, honesty and conscience during the service. The article provides a detailed analysis of the distribution of representatives of both male and female sides in the system of public administration and management at all levels. It was found that today there is a certain inequality in the work of the management system towards men in the field of public administration.
