Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Youth face under‐representation in political office. In this article, we look at cabinets, the pinnacle of political power. Focusing on Latin and South America, we find that youth's numerical representation is significantly lower in cabinets than in parliament. The age group 35 years or under makes up a mere 3 per cent of cabinet members, and those aged 40 or under constitute 9 per cent of ministers. We also illustrate that despite this strong lack of representation, there is variation in the average age of cabinets and the percentage of young ministers, some of which is explained by the age of the head of the government. Finally, we show that the few ministers that make it to cabinet are distributed relatively equally between high‐prestige portfolios, medium‐prestige portfolios and low‐prestige portfolios.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
