In his 2007 electionvictory, Sarkozy enjoyed similar levels of support among both sexes among most age groups,though older women tended to favor him more than their male peers. In the run-up to the2012 elections, support for him was generally lower among women than among men.Sarkozy’s term of office opened with a fanfare, trumpeting a government composed equallyof men and women. By the end of his five-year term, the proportion of women ingovernment had fallen to scarcely a quarter. Regarding economic inequalities between menand women, despite a number of measures favoring women in the business world, Sarkozy’sfive-year term largely failed to deliver the changes promised by him as a candidatein 2007. %G English %L hal-03473903 %U https://sciencespo.hal.science/hal-03473903 %~ SHS %~ SCIENCESPO %~ CNRS %~ AO-SCIENCEPOLITIQUE %~ CEVIPOF
