Variable: Youth Organization Leader

QoG Code: (head_youthlead)


Dataset: Swedish Agency Head Dataset

Description:

Denotes whether an agency head has held a representative position (förtroendeuppdrag) in a political youth organization. Note that, while the youth organizations are usually tied to an established political party, they can sometimes act relatively independently. The Sweden Democrats, for example, terminated their youth organization in 2015 for being too radical (but later founded a new youth organization with a different name).
