dc.description.abstractPurpose–The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current situation of the European Union in terms ofgender equality, researching the possible existence of models differentiated by groups of countries orconglomerates. For this, the indicator offered by the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) has beenused, which includes six dimensions: work, money, knowledge, time, power and health.Design/methodology/approach–The Gender Equality Index is compared with an alternative indicatorthat has been developed using the same dimensions but with a different methodology. Specifically, the DP2distance measure has been applied, the use of which is common in studies focusing on well-being and quality oflife. In addition, a cluster analysis has been carried out that allows classifying the EU member states andobtaining groupings of countries according to the proximity between them in terms of equality between menand women.Findings–The results show that the most egalitarian countries are those of northern Europe, but withoutfinding the typical north–south classification. Thus, in the group of the least equal are many eastern countriesthat have recently joined the EU, along with other southern countries that have been part of the EU since itscreation, such as Italy. The classification of the countries resulting from applying one or the other methodologyis not identical although there are hardly any significant changes. The groups obtained in the years for whichinformation is available are also not altered, which reflects the structural nature of gender equality.Originality/value–This paper shows a division into four groups of countries according to gender equality,using different indicators and methodologies. The typology of countries has hardly altered during the lastdecade.
