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 38 European countries. 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, and transport. 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 business and finance domain includes statistics on women and men in highest decision-making positions of the largest quoted companies, European financial institutions, and national central banks. Data on central banks cover the head (governor), deputy head (Deputy/Vice-governor) and members of the decision-making bodies of the entity responsible for overseeing the monetary system in each country.

Organisations covered:

Central banks: the entity responsible for overseeing the monetary system for a country (or a group of member states). The central banks oversee monetary policy and work towards specific goals such as currency stability, low inflation and full employment as well as issue currency, function as the bank of the government, regulate the credit system, oversee commercial banks, manage exchange reserves and act as a lender of last resort.

Positions covered:

  • Governor
  • Deputy/Vice-governors
  • Members of all key decision-making bodies (count includes the governor)
