Abstract
ABSTRACT This article introduces the World Age Representation in Cabinet (WARC) dataset, the first comprehensive dataset on age representation in cabinet. It provides information on the age of ministers, the share of young cabinet members aged 35 years or under and 40 years or under, as well as data for other age groups (i.e., 41 years to 60, and 61 years and over). In addition, it compares youth's presence in cabinet with youth's presence in the population, as well as maps young adults’ presence in different types of portfolios (i.e., high prestige, middle prestige, and low prestige portfolios). In total, the WARC dataset presents age data for more than 1500 cabinets, in more than 200 countries, and spans from years 1952–2024. It is freely available online and the data can be easily merged with existing datasets.
