The Taeuber Paradox refers to a situation in statistics and social science wherein an increase in a demographic group's proportion within a population does not necessarily imply an increase in their actual number or status. The paradox is often illustrated through examples related to voting behavior or social representation, where the share of votes or representation for a particular group may appear to increase, but due to changes in the overall population size or vote distribution, the actual number of individuals from that group may not increase accordingly.
