Croatia Has Lowest Share of Women Managers in EU
ZAGREB, 6 March, 2021 - Croatia is at the bottom of the EU ranking of women at management level and women in the EU are still far from being men's equals, according to an Eurostat report.
The COVID-19 pandemic "has led to unprecedented changes in the workplace," Eurostat said, but data on men and women at management level continue to reveal familiar patterns.
"While both women and men bring different qualities to crisis management, women remain outnumbered at the management level," Eurostat said.
"In Q3 2020, more than 9.5 million people held a managerial position in the EU: 6.2 million men and 3.3 million women. Although women represent almost half of all employed persons in the EU (46%), they are under-represented amongst managers (34%)."
In the past 20 years, the share of women in managerial postions "has gradually increased from just below 30% in Q2 2002."
Latvia and Poland on top
Latvia, Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary and Slovenia have the highest shares of women managers, with Latvia recording the highest share in Q3 2020 (45%), followed by Poland (44%).
Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovenia and Sweden are next, each with a 42% share.
Above the EU average are Ireland, Romania, Finland, Estonia, Spain, France, Portugal, Slovakia and Lithuania, their shares of women managers ranging from 38 to 35%.
In Denmark and Germany, less than one in three managers were women according to data for Q4 2019.
"At the opposite end of the scale, women account for only around a quarter of managers in Croatia (24%), the Netherlands (26%) and Cyprus (27%)," Eurostat said.
