What is the Gender Equality Index Score for Luxembourg?

Answer explanation

Since 2010, the EU’s score has increased by 5.5 points. Since 2019, the EU’s score has increased by 0.6 points.

Without this domain, the EU Index score would have fallen due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on gender equality.
