title = {Daten zur Berufsstruktur des Deutschen Bundestages in der 19. Wahlperiode},
year = {2019},
note = {The 2017 election brought significant changes to the membership of the
German Bundestag. The parliament became much larger (709 seats) and
the entry of 291 new deputies marked a new turnover record. Also, for
the first time since unification, the German Bundestag is a six-party
parliament, and the right-wing populist Alternative für Deutschland
(AfD) entered the assembly for the first time. Following up on
previous publications on the Bundestag’s occupational structure this
article investigates the impact these changes had using the category
scheme established by Adalbert Hess. Newcomers brought in more
freelance professionals and business owners. Moreover, the presence of
those previously employed by political parties or members of
parliament increased, and occupational differences between MPs from
east and west Germany persist, even among the younger members.},
