Unequal positions of power are still the largest obstacle to achieving gender equality in the European Union, despite the significant strides made in this area over the past decade, according to the EIGE's Gender Equality Index 2025.
Across the EU, the scores for the power category, which measures the equality of men and women in decision-making positions across the political, economic and social spheres, range from a high of 80.3 points in Sweden to 12.9 points in Hungary.
