The study took a look at the levels of advancement in equality and career opportunity for women in 100 countries around the world, focusing on political and corporate leadership, gender wage gaps, legal support, maternity leave among a number of aspects

Norway became the highest-ranking country in the index, scoring highly on political representation, corporate leadership, and womenʼs legislation. Finland and Iceland ranked second and third.

While Hungary did relatively poorly in categories such as "Total Women in Government" (87th out of 100), and "Women in Management" (57th), the countryʼs position was improved greatly due to performing well in terms of maternity leave length (4th longest).
