Recommendations from 2009 – 20.03.2013
EYP Evaluations and Recommendations Database Analysis 1
Maria Manolescu (HR Officer) Andris Suvajevs (GB member in charge of HR)
Premises • On March 20th 2013, the database of EYP included 2188 recommendations submitted from 2009 onwards. • The International Sessions taken into account are from Stockholm ‘09 until Amsterdam ‘12 (including). • The recommendations of past IS presidents, including Zurich, have not been included in the count. • National events include regional sessions, national sessions and forums (all sessions except International Sessions). • Despite thorough efforts in updating the database and correcting small mistakes (misreported nationalities and year for instance), some inaccuracies might still be present. 2
For any questions or comments, you can contact the HR Officer at hr@eyp.org
Clarification on Footnotes: • ‘Number of people, not of recommendations’ if person X received several recommendations in a session (for both chair and journalist, for example), he/she will only be counted once. • ‘Count of recommendations’ person X will be counted twice, as he/she received one recommendation to chair and one to journalist.

Generally, there are more recommendations given for each role to female candidates.
•
Yet, in the past 6 ISs, in the leadership positions (HOs, Editors and Boards) females are severely underrepresented with 25 males and only 17 females in leadership positions.

• On average 4 people get recommended from an NS, but that does not mean that every country gets 4 more people eligible for ISs as these people can be foreign officials. • In the last four years, recommendations have been submitted following 105 national events 18 *Number of people, not recommendations. *Based on 105 national events. *Only events for which recommendations have been submited have been counted.
Conclusions • The current recommendation system is highly restraining and with apparent biases that consequently prevent many EYPers from being eligible to apply to International Sessions. • More people need to be enabled to apply to International Sessions by increasing the opportunities to acquire a recommendation. • EYP recommendations should stay in place as they provide an opportunity for young people to learn observing and reporting on their peer behaviour. 19
