EU: Equality index

EU agency the European Institute for Gender Equality has published its gender equality index for 2022.

On a scale where a score of 100 would represent complete equality, first-placed Sweden has 83.9 points. In second place is Denmark on 77.8 while the Netherlands, on 77.3, is third. In bottom place is Greece with 53.4.
