The 10 European countries that have made the most progress in terms of gender equality

[Woman Protest]Getty * The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) published a report on the progress of the European Union countries in terms of gender equality. * The EIGE measured the individual index's by looking at seven main areas: work, money, health, knowledge, time (the balance between household and leisurely tasks), power and violence. * WHILE GREECE AND HUNGARY WERE RANKED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST, NORDIC NEIGHBORS DENMARK AND SWEDEN MADE THE MOST PROGRESS IN TERMS OF GENDER EQUALITY. * "WE ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, BUT WE ARE STILL FAR FROM THE FINISH LINE," THE DIRECTOR OF THE INSTITUTE SAID. * Visit Insider's homepage for more stories. The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) published an update of its Gender Equality Index last week, which analyzes the progress of the 28 countries of the European Union (EU) in terms of gender equality. The EIGE report revealed that "the European Union is moving towards gender equality at a snail's pace." Virginija Langbakk, the director of the institute, said: "We are moving in the right direction, but we are still far from the finish line." To carry out this study, the EIGE measured the efforts made in seven main areas: work, money, health, knowledge, time (the balance between household and leisurely tasks), power and violence. Each country is then scored using a point system on a scale from 1 to 100. The European Union as a whole obtained an average score of 67.4 out of 100, which is only 5.4 more than in 2005, and 1.2 more than in 2015. Greece and Hungary were ranked at the bottom with a score of 51.2 and 51.9 out of 100 respectively. Gender equality in the European Union is more respected in the areas of health (88.1 points) and money (80.4 points). As far as power is concerned, the EU is still far from equality (51.9 points), although this is the area that has made the most progress since the last report. Here are the 10 European Union countries that obtained the highest score on the gender equality index in 2019. 10. LUXEMBOURG (69.2/100) Gray wall studio/Shutterstock Between 2005 and 2017, Luxembourg's points have increased by 4.8 points, although it is progressing towards gender quality at a much slower pace than most EU countries. It is among the countries with the lowest wage inequality, and its greatest improvements are in the domains of power. 9. SPAIN (70.1/100) Getty Spain's ranking hasn't changed since 2005. Gender equality is most pronounced in the domain of health, with a whopping 90.1 points. But it has a major inequality in the domain of power — only 40% of its parliament is female. This, however, is still an increase of 16.1 points from 2005. 8. BELGIUM (71.1/100) Getty Belgium has the lowest wage gap in all of Europe. It is now 1.1 percent, which is less than a third of what it was in 2007. Its overall index is 3.7 higher than that of the EU. It's stronger areas include money and power.
