Gender Equality Index reveals status quo in the EU

Archived | Content is no longer being updated

The Gender Equality Index differenciates among the member states of the EU and several domains, such as work, money, knowledge, time, power and health. This measurement tool assigns a score from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest score) and thus provides a measure of how far (or close) each Member State was from achieving gender equality in 2010. While in the whole of the EU Gender Equality was maesured with 54 at a little more than halfway to full Gender Equality, Germany was a little less successful than the average with 51,6. Ahead of the movement remain the Scandinavian countries, as well as Denmark and the Netherlands.
