Europe is the place where women live best in terms of gender equality. But the picture isn’t equal across the bloc, according to the Gender Equality Index.
Providing a ranking from zero to 100 on national gender gaps among EU countries, the EU average is 67.9.
2002’s index identified Sweden as the European leader of gender equality, with a score of 83.9 points. Denmark and the Netherlands were the second and third most gender-equal countries.
But the flip side of this is countries where equality is poor. In the bottom rankings, Greece scored 53.4 points and Hungary and Romania also performed badly.
