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 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 national governments cover the presidents (where relevant), prime ministers, and members of governments in each country.

Organisations covered:

The national government is the executive body with authority to govern a country or a state. The Cabinet is defined as a body of high-ranking members of the government, typically representing the executive branch and formed of senior ministers. In some cases, where there are no junior ministers, the national government is the Cabinet. It may also be referred to as the Council of Ministers, an Executive Council or an Executive Committee.

Positions covered:

• President: elected head of state (where relevant).
• Prime minister: head of the government. In some countries, alternative names are used (e.g. Chancellor). 
• Ministers: a minister or a secretary is a politician who holds significant public office in a national government. Senior ministers are members of the government who have a seat in the cabinet or council of ministers (count includes the prime minister). Junior ministers are members of the government who do not have a seat in the cabinet. In some countries state-secretaries (or the national equivalent) are considered as junior ministers within the government (with no seat in the cabinet) but in other countries they are not considered as members of the government.
