The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) is the only European Union agency focusing solely on gender equality. With substantial resources already collected and developed, EIGE is becoming the EU knowledge centre for gender equality. In 2017 we published the third edition of our Gender Equality Index. It is a unique measurement tool developed by EIGE. Individual scores given to every Member State and the EU as a whole make it easy to compare gender equality among countries. During the decade between 2005 and 2015, the Gender Equality Index of the EU only improved by 4 points. With 66.2 points for the EU as a whole and individual country scores ranging from 82.6 (Sweden) to 50 (Greece) there is plenty of room for improvement.

The Gender Equality Index 2017 assesses progress and challenges in achieving gender equality across the European Union by providing scores for 2005, 2010, 2012 and 2015. It measures differences in the situation of women and men within core domains relevant to the EU policy framework (work, money, knowledge, time, power and health) on a scale from 1 (full inequality) to 100 (full equality). The core Index is complemented by two additional, equally important, satellite domains of violence and intersecting inequalities. They are a part of the framework of the Gender Equality Index in all respects but do not have an impact on the overall score of the Index.

The European Commission want to set up a European Institute for Gender Equality to collect and analyse data, carry out research and promote exchanges of information and good practice about gender issues in the EU. The European Union Committee expresses the view that a separate body of this kind is not needed, and that more consideration should be given to the case for incorporating gender equality work in the proposed European Fundamental Rights Agency. The Committee also states that the establishment of such a body requires a good management structure along with adequate funding. The Committee further states that the Government should take a clear and consistent line on the correct legal base for this and similar proposals.

The study positions equality between women and men as a fundamental value of the European Union, which is enshrined in its treaties and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Mainstreaming the principle of equality between women and men is a major part of all its activities and represents the general approach to the implementation of all EU policies. Yet the position of women and men is shown to still differ considerably. For example, women's employment rates are lower; they have less political power and are more susceptible to poverty than men. Given this state of affairs, an effective monitoring of gender equality, based on a common set of indicators, is seen as essential. These indicators can identify strong or weak aspects of a specific situation in the Member States and facilitate intercountry comparisons. The indicators may also be combined in one single figure, a gender equality index. Such an index would be very useful to identify and monitor relative progress in gender equality over time. Over the last few decades, the relevance and importance of indexes in the field of gender equality has been recognised, and indeed several indexes have been developed -- EU Bookshop.

This edited collection draws on and expands the findings from a pan-European research project undertaken during 2012-13 which was funded by the European Institute for Gender Equality and aimed to explore three key issues in relation to gender and media: women’s inclusion in decision-making positions within media industries; how women are represented in the media; and what policies and mechanisms are in place to support women’s career development and promote gender equality. The research looked at 99 major media organisations across the EU including public and private sector broadcasters (TV and radio) as well as a number of major newspaper groups. Researchers also monitored TV programmes (factual only but including entertainment genres) across one week and coded 1200 hours of TV. In addition to elaborating the results from 16 of the participating nations, the collection includes a set of context-setting essays and a summarizing conclusion as well as a reflection on the purpose and utility of gender indicators. It is the first major work to look across the European media landscape and explore both employment and representation, providing a unique glimpse into the contemporary media scene in relation to gender equality, including examples of good and less good practice.
