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 , 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 and money . As far as power is concerned, the EU is still far from equality , although this is the area that has made the most progress since the last report.
