In the 21st century, the composition of most European legislatures has become much more socially diverse. To a large extent, this is due to a rise in the number of women and of ethnic and immigrant-origin minorities present in parliaments, but other social groups and categories have also increased their presence overtime. Nevertheless, women and minorities are still underrepresented in most European parliaments. There is no consolidated knowledge on the factors facilitating the parliamentary presence and careers of historically marginalised groups, although research on increased descriptive diversity is progressing significantly. In this panel, we focus on quantitative analyses of the parliamentary presence of a wide range of historically under-represented groups with a longitudinal, comparative or intersectional approach, with the aim of shedding light on the supportive and obstructive factors of the parliamentary descriptive representation of minorities in Europe.
