ABSTRACT

The issue of human diversity has become a pressing global concern as interaction among people significantly increases due to dynamic demographic, political, economic, and socio-cultural changes. This paper attempts to investigate how gender diversity is managed in the Ethiopian government. The study reveals that women’s representation in decision-making positions, such as political appointees and senior officials, is poor, with women largely being concentrated in low level clerical jobs in the Ethiopian government. Further, there is a considerable disparity of the representation of female government employees among regional states. With respect to ethnic representation, about one-third of the nearly 80 ethnic groups in Ethiopia were not represented at all. Therefore, as a multiethnic and federal nation, Ethiopia needs to reconsider its personnel policies designed to promote gender diversity and ethnic representation in its public sector.
