The methodology of the Gender Equality Index was updated in 2025. Comparing scores published before 2025 with the new ones is not reliable. Recalculated data for earlier years, where available, is included in the Gender Equality Index 2025 report.
This publication summarises the main results of the Gender Equality Index 2015, which provides scores for 2005, 2010 and 2012, for the first time allowing for an assessment of the progress made in the pursuit of gender equality in the EU and individual Member States over time.
