Description
This paper provides a social and demographic breakdown of Members of the Victorian Parliament for the five most recent parliaments (2002-2018) with respect to age, gender, education level, region of birth and occupation before entering parliament. The findings for Members elected at the start of each parliament are compared to the Victorian population in each election year to explore which groups of the voter base are over or underrepresented across the two Houses. The paper combines text with links to data visualisations.
