International Women's Day highlights the increasing presence of women in managerial roles within the EU, with 35.2% of such positions held by women in 2024, up from 31.8% in 2014. Young women aged 15-39 represent nearly 40% of managers, while older age groups show lower percentages. Sweden, Latvia, and Poland lead in female managerial representation, while Cyprus, Croatia, and Italy have the lowest. The rise in female leaders is supported by EU initiatives for gender balance in corporate boards. Despite progress, a significant employment gap remains between men and women.
