The WARC dataset is a comprehensive dataset and ongoing data collection that provides information on the numerical presence of female ministers and different age groups worldwide and over time.
In more detail, it provides information on the gendered composition of cabinets across the globe as well as the mean and median age of cabinet members. Authors also provide figures on the presence of young cabinet members, as well as figures that that compare the presence of a certain age group of cabinet members in relation to the same age group in the general population. Finally, they present data on the gender and age distributions of different types of portfolios (i.e. low-prestige, medium-prestige and high-prestige portfolios).
