Are all age groups fairly represented across company levels?

Age groups are represented to varying degrees across company levels.
Here is an overview:

• The age group 30—39 is most heavily represented in all upper levels (layer 3 to layer 6).
40-49 and 50-59 are also present at all higher levels, but with a slightly lower number than 30-39 year olds.
• The age group 20—29 is significantly weaker, particularly in the upper levels (layers 3—6).
60+ is only very slightly represented overall, usually with single-digit numbers per level.• Only very few employees are registered at the lower levels (layers 1—2), regardless of age.

Conclusion:• The age groups 30—39, 40—49 and 50—59 are well represented at most levels of the company.
• Younger employees (20—29) and older employees (60+) are significantly underrepresented at management levels.
• There is no “fair” distribution in the sense of equal representation of all age groups. Generations 20—29 and 60+ in particular are structurally disadvantaged.

recommendation: If the goal is an age-diverse organization, specific attention should be paid to the promotion and development of younger and older employees at all levels.
