Norway, Sweden, Finland and Poland leads in The Economist “glass-ceiling index” which reveals countries where women have the best chances of equal treatment at work.
Combination of data on Labour-force participation, pay, child-care costs, maternity rights, higher education, business-school applications and representation in senior jobs and paternity rights as an additional measure comes into play in the study which indicates that in situations where new fathers take parental leave, mothers tend to return to the labour market, hence female employment is higher and the earnings gap between men and women is lower.
The index corroborates United Nations' International Women's Day marked on March 8th.
