After the election
Another men’s household? This is the new Bundestag
After the Bundestag election, the political groups have been constituted – the look at the list of members shows how old, young, male and female the new parliament is.
The new Bundestag is again a men’s household: 426 men and 204 women will be sitting in the plenary in the future. This means that the proportion of women in the parliament, which is now significantly more conservative, has dropped again compared to the past election period, from almost 36 percent in the 20th parliamentary term to around 32 percent.

The data show that the only factions in which more women sit than men are like the past election period are those of the left and the Greens. In the parliamentary groups of the left and SPD, the ratio is also relatively balanced and thus the closest to an actual image of the company, in which the sexes are known to be represented in half. The CDU/CSU and AfD, on the other hand, each sit with a very clear male overhang in parliament, and the AfD is greatest with 88 percent.

With regard to the age structure, it turns out that older and younger people in particular are rather underrepresented. At the birth of the youngest MP Luke Rolf Hoß, Die Linke, the oldest parliamentary member Alexander Gauland, AfD, was already 60 years old. The oldest woman in the Bundestag - Gerrit Huy from the AfD - was born in 1953, the youngest - Zada Salihović from the Left - Most MPs were born in the year 1973, namely 28th the 1970s, with a view to the new Bundestag, were the most birth -reached decade, followed by the 1980s (156 MPs) and the 1960s. With a view to the generations, this means: Generation X, born between 1966 and 1980, represents the most MPs, the number of older baby boomers (born in 1956 to 1965) in parliament is significantly larger than that of the young generation Z (born 1995 to 2009).
