Description:

The Gender Statistics Database (GSD) of the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) contains data on the numbers of women and men in key decision-making positions across a number of different life domains. Data may cover international, European, national, regional and local levels and currently include 37 European countries. Data covered the United Kingdom up to 2024. The GSD aims to provide reliable statistics that can be used to monitor the current situation and trends over time.

The domains covered include politics, public administration, judiciary, business and finance, social partners and NGOs, environment, media, science and research, sports, transport, COVID-19, and EU funding. The decision-making positions covered are specific to each area.

A decision-making position is a position from which it is possible to take or influence a decision:

  • within a domain: at organisational level. This restricts coverage to organisations having a major influence in the domain at the territorial level of interest, which is usually national but can also be international, European, regional or local;
  • within an organisation: at hierarchical level. This restricts coverage to positions within the hierarchy that have a major input to decision-making within the organisation.

WMID Methodological report

The politics domain includes statistics on women and men amongst politicians at the European, national, regional and local levels. Figures include executive bodies (e.g. governments), representative bodies (parliaments and councils) as well as major political parties. Data on major political parties cover the leader(s) and deputy leader(s) of major political parties in each country.

Organisations covered:

  • Major political parties: political parties with at least 5% of seats in the national parliament (either of the upper or lower houses in case of a bicameral system) at the time of observation (i.e. beginning of the data collection).

A political party is defined as an organised group of people with some common political aims and opinions that seek to influence public policy, usually by trying to get candidates elected to public office. Independents and coalitions are not included in the database. Coalitions are formal or informal groups of political parties. Only their constituent members are treated individually.

Positions covered:

  • Leader(s)
  • Deputy leader(s)
