They are followed by Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovenia and Sweden with 42 % each. At the opposite end are Croatia with 24%, the Netherlands with 26% and Cyprus with 27%, BNR reported..

In the third quarter of 2020, more than 9.5 million people were in leadership positions in the EU. Of these, 6.2 million were men and 3.3 million were women. Although women make up almost half of the EU's employed workers (46%), women in leadership positions amount to 34%.
