Launch of the European Gender Equality Index

Launch of the European Gender Equality Index

The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) has developed a Gender Equality Index that they have been working on since 2010. This Index will officially be launched at a Conference in Brussels on the 13^th of June.

The Gender Equality Index is a tool that helps to measure different aspects of gender equality within the European Union’s policy framework and objectives. It provides information on how far countries are in achieving gender equality and provide information on gender gaps in different thematic areas. The Index is a unique tool since it covers the multi-dimensional aspect of gender equality and still remains easy and accessible to use. The Index consists of a combination of gender indicators in the following areas: (work, health, money, knowledge, time and power). There are also two additional domains, (intersecting inequalities and violence).
