We have mapped the new members of the City Council.
On Thursday next week, the city hall in Lund, consisting of 43 percent women and 57 percent men. Then held namely the first meeting of the new council. Despite Moderates focus on a list of youth, the average age in the city council high: 49.4 years.
– Unfortunately, there are many representatives in the age range 30 to 40 It is difficult to engage in politics when you are in the midst of his career and perhaps provide children, says Mats Helmfrid (M), Mayor.
When it comes to income among the members, think Mats Helmfrid that part of the explanation associated just with age.
– Generally has higher salary older. At the same time the amount of students in Lund that the comparative average income in Lund will be lower.
Gender, but also ethnicity and income plays the role of politicians representativeness, according to state-knower Patrik Hall. However, he thinks that it is difficult to set quotas for the people from out-for example, income or housing.
– It can be quite hard to be time politicians. You have got to put a lot of time, and it can be people from lower social groups find it difficult to do, he says.
Two members of the new council earned over a million dollars last year. One of them is Bernt Bertilsson (C), which is phasing out their involvement in company operations.
– I just quit as president and received in connection with the charge stored holiday pay. Now, I soon retired, so the figures give a false image, he says.
As a pensioner will Bernt Bertilsson still receive a higher income than the average Lunda-bon: About 50 000 per month. A benefit today, but that he earned under partly different conditions, he says.
– If you sit on a CEO is not the same basic protection as employees, says Bernt Bertilsson.
