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, 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 European financial institutions cover the heads (president/chairman) and members of the decision-making bodies of the European Central Bank, European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund.

Organisations covered:

  • European Central Bank (ECB): responsible for management of the euro and implementation of the EU's economic and monetary policy.
  • European Investment Bank (EIB): lends money for projects of European interest such as rail and road links, airports, or environmental schemes. It also provides credit for investment by small businesses.
  • European Investment Fund (EIF): provides help for small businesses.

Positions covered:

  • ECB: president and members of the governing council
  • EIB: chairman and members of the board of governors
  • EIF: chairman and members of the board of directors

Notes:

  • In all three organisations, the count of members includes the president/chairman.
