Applications are open for the Politician of the Year Award 2024. According to the Inter-Parliamentary Union, only 2.8% of parliamentarians globally are under the age of 30, and only 18.8% of MPs are below 40. In approximately 74% of upper chambers, there are no MPs below the age of 30. A lack of representation raises the substantial risk of disconnecting an entire generation from their nations’ political processes.
