2024 Index highlights

  • The Gender Equality Index score for the European Union is 71 out of 100 points. This marks an incremental 0.8-point improvement on the 2023 Index score and an increase of 7.9 points in total since 2010.

  • Convergence analysis shows that gender equality disparities within the EU decreased between 2010 and 2022. Despite different starting points, 15 Member States are now closer to the EU average than in 2010.


Gender-Based Violence – Coming soon

The thematic focus examines how violence against women impacts gender equality. By emphasising the necessity of fully eradicating gender-based violence, the Index thematic focus will reveal the ways in which violence constrains women's freedoms and limits their potential in all aspects of life.

“Gender equality is the foundation for a stronger Europe. The 2024 Index shows progress is possible, but we’ll only maintain that with bold, sustained action.”

  • Closing employment gender gaps – a key to economic prosperity   

    While women's employment in the EU has increased, a significant gender gap still exists. Many women work in lower-paying jobs and face barriers due to caregiving responsibilities. Closing this gap is essential to help boost economic growth, especially in high-demand areas like ICT and healthcare.

  • Resolving care challenges in an ageing EU

    The gender care gap continues to drive inequalities in employment, earnings, and working conditions. Nearly 1 in 3 women outside the labour force and wanting to work said it was because of care responsibilities, compared to 1 in 10 men. 

  • Pushing for power: the fastest rate of change

    Although the domain of power has the lowest domain score, it continues to set the pace for change. Still, only one in three members of national parliaments are women. Sustaining progress will require strong political will to dismantle barriers and ensure meaningful change.
