✔️ The EU just made its biggest progress on gender equality in the past 10 years!

The Gender Equality Index tracks how we’re closing the gender gap, and since 2010, our score has improved by 7.9 points.

Key highlights:
✔️ Employment gap is shrinking
⚠️ Women still do most housework & care
📊 Economic decision-making is more balanced
🏅 Gender parity in sport? Still a challenge

Progress is real—but there’s more to do.

@EUCommission This got to take the cake for worst visualization I have ever seen.

7,9 % what? some sort of score related to gender pay apparently?
From where to who? Have we been previously at 10 % or 0 % or 92 %?

Only two dates are shown and those are 14 years apart.

Let's end on a positive note: I like the colour gradient and the colours chosen.

Eh?!?

@saxnot @EUCommission
The post links to a webpage where the whole report can be downloaded. It answers almost all your questions:
how the index is calculated, based on a, rather wide, range of indicators (pay is included, of course). The report also shows the index varying in time, the time "scale" being the past report editions.
As per the two dates, I assume that 2010 is the year when all the indicators started being measured, although few of them have figures dating back to 2005 or 2007.

It didn't make the visualization less gruesome
