Methodology

  • Women's share: share of people recorded as female on abgeordnetenwatch.de among all members with a current mandate; people without a record stay in the denominator.
  • Age: calendar year minus year of birth, so up to one year too high. Average and age groups only consider people with a known year of birth.
  • Outside activities: number of disclosable activities recorded on abgeordnetenwatch.de. What must be reported is regulated differently by each parliament, so the Bundestag and the state parliaments are not directly comparable, and for some state parliaments no data exists.
  • Groups: assignment according to abgeordnetenwatch.de as of the data date; non-attached members form their own row.
  • Moved up or entered later: mandates with a replacement note or a start more than 30 days after the most common start date of the term (usually the constituent session).
