The US has the oldest economic elite, with a median age of 62.
The UK and France are close to the European average (mid-to-late 50s).
China stands out for having a younger elite with many under 40.
In most countries, business elites are younger than regulators, except in China and Poland where regulators are the older group.

Our aim is to solve the problem of comparability and heterogeneity in the study of national power structures, and to foster a cooperative community of scholars interested in studying elite populations systematically.
