Gender Representation in Leadership and Gender Equality Policies: A Comparative Study of Romania and the European Union

Summary/Abstract: This study examines the correlation between women's representation in leadership positions and the effectiveness of gender equality policies in Romania and the European Union. The research utilizes recent statistical data from the Gender Equality Index 2024 to highlight disparities and trends in gender representation across political, economic, and social sectors. The findings indicate that although progress has been made at the EU level, Romania continues to lag in key areas such as political decision-making and economic participation. The study emphasizes the importance of gender quotas, targeted policies, and cultural shifts in fostering gender-balanced leadership. The conclusion provides policy recommendations for narrowing gender gaps and promoting sustainable gender equality.
