Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This introductory/ overview article discusses and applies the so-called ladder of recruitment to youth and their representation in parliament. The ladder includes four steps (i.e., eligible citizens, party members, candidates and legislators) with diminishing returns for youth representation at each step. I further illustrate that the literature on youth representation has mainly focused on the final stage of the ladder, the election stage, and has largely neglected the role of political parties in the recruitment and nomination of youth. This symposium rectifies this dearth of scholarship by looking at the role of youth party members, their relative power within parties and the opportunities they have to gain nomination.

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. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
