Forbes.hu reports that the Bisnode Index of Women Influence 2018 (BIWI) has been announced to the public. This index makes possible to compare how influential women are in business affairs in each country, and the Index 2018 brought to light some surprising results concerning Hungary. Let’s see how powerful European women are in companies.

There has been much discussion about women’s empowerment and the fight for equal rights these days, and that is why it is important to examine how successful these attempts have been and how much influence women have today in such sectors as the economy. The Bisnode Index of Women Influence provides an opportunity to see what we have achieved in this domain by comparing the results of European countries.

How does the study work?

The study took into consideration 4 aspects to determine how powerful women are in the business sector. These were the following:

• share in the number of companies
• share in the number of employees
• share in revenues
• and share in net profits.

The ranking made with this method clearly shows that Hungary is in leading position and is far above the European average index. The base BIWI value was 100, and in countries with a better result, women’s influence was greater on the domestic economy, as can be read in the report.
