40 C I N E M O N T A G E M P E G | T H E D I V E R S I T Y S U R V E Y GENDER REPRESENTATION The 2020 survey revealed that 67.99% of members identified as male and 28.50% of members identified as female. In a similar survey conducted in 2016, 67.71% of members identified as male and 29.53% of members identified as female. While it seems that there is a 1% de- crease in female representation from 2016 to 2020, one major change impacting this year's gender data is the inclusion of diverse identities for gender representation, breaking from "female / male" binary categorization from years past. It is also worth noting that only 2,200 members participated in the survey in 2016, representing a smaller pool of members than those who participated this year. SEXUAL ORIENTATION The 2020 LGBTQ+ community accounted for 11.47% of Guild members, according to the survey. More than 81% of the members who responded identified as hetero- sexual, while 7.51% declined to answer. [Fig. 5] In the 2017 "Who We Are" Demographics Survey (a shorter survey with only 1,215 member responses, which is a significantly smaller sample rate of overall mem- bership participation compared to this year), LGBTQ+ members accounted for 12.51% of the respon- dents while 88.97% of the respondents identified as heterosexual. AGE REPRESENTATION The 2020 survey included a ques- tion regarding age that 89.54% of participants answered. The lowest age reported was 23 while the high- est was 78; 10.46% of participants declined to answer. The majority of all Picture Editors reported being within the ages of 40-44, with a steady decline in representation up through age 78. [Fig. 6] The majority of Assistant Editors reported being within the ages of 30-34, with a steady decline in representation ending in the age range of 65-69.
