A few days ago, a report about gender equality in the European Union was released. It looks at the changes in gender equality between 2005 and 2019, with a focus on work-life balance.

The report highlights a glaring issue – while there is progress for women in terms of job opportunities and pay, as well as healthcare, the large share of power (political, economic or otherwise) still remains with men.

Further, even as countries like Sweden and Denmark have made remarkable progress , others like Greece and Hungary, are trailing. Meanwhile, per the study, countries like Lithuania  have not progressed since 2005 in achieving gender equality.

The report concludes, “In some domains, progress has slowed, stalled or even regressed. We are still far from the finish line.”
