Because I think in most ministries there will be only around 50 directors?

DD + Dir + SD probably around 40 posts? In a typical ministry, I estimate there are probably around 250-300 senior officers? maybe slightly more. But not everyone is old enough to be a DD/ Director. what one should compare is this: amongst those age 40 and above (that is counting in those who are slower in progression) how many of them are in DD positions and above? due to attrition, those in this age group would be fewer, hence the probability of them holding DD/Dir and above is much higher than 10%. I reckon in a normal ministry it could be more than half.
This is empirical evidence but seriously when I look around my workplace and consider those who are past their mid 30s, I hardly see anyone who is NOT a DD. These days, people reach DD when they are 32-34, hardly surprising at all. I'm interviewing for a DD position myself (reaching 34) and I think I'm slow. There are people my age reaching DD 2-3 years before me (although by rank we are the same at that time, MX11).
