Frequently, these features are used for social exclusion and the monopolization of power. The index of ethnic fractionalization in Germany is 0.1682.

The theoretical maximum of EF of 1 means that each person belongs to a different group. Read below for statistics of Germany on median age and gender distribution at various ages.
