Table 1. Centralization, routine involvement in policy-making and female-to-male membership ratios by country (N = 20) and welfare cluster across different periods (Visser, Citation2019).

Figure 2. Cartesian graph mapping countries according to leaves generosity and female-to-male union density odds ratio (pooled averages 1980–2010). Black solid lines represent median values. Different dots indicate welfare regime families (Nordic; Liberal; Continental; Mediterranean).

Figure 3. Scatterplots of countries’ leaves generosity and female/male union density ratios in different corporatist contexts (‘low’ vs. ‘high’ levels of routine involvement of trade unions in policy-making; pooled averages 1980-2010). Black solid lines indicate the best fit using OLS. ‘High’: above the median value of ‘routine involvement in policy-making’; ‘low’: below median.
