A new study reveals Denmark, Finland and Sweden are the top three out of 16 countries ranked for their favorability towards women in their workplace and living conditions in 2025.
The study from online gaming company CasinoOfThekings collected data from Eurostat, the OECD, the International Labour Organization, and the European Institute for Gender Equality, analysed gender-related economic and social indicators in 16 countries.
Ten key indicators include gender pay gaps, bank account ownership, and the proportion of women who are entrepreneurs.
Denmark led the list with a life score of 83, reflecting small employment gaps and high gender equality.
The country offers the longest maternity leave in rankings in 18 months, with a high gender equality index of 0.78.
Denmark also has the smallest gender gap in management position, at 27.9%.
Second place is Finland, with a life score of 80.
The country has 1.9% more female entrepreneurs than Denmark, with the lowest employment gap in the rankings of 1.5%.
But that follows behind the gap in maternity leave availability and gender pay.
Sweden ranks third in the list of best countries for women to work in 2025 and win 79.
The country has the broadest gender gap in managerial positions in the top 10, stands out at 42.3%, but stands out for a small pay gap of 7.3% and a year-round maternity leave.
“Northern European countries continue to dominate the global rankings of gender equality in the workplace, demonstrating that inclusive social policies can create an environment where women can thrive professionally,” a spokesman for Casinofhegings said.
“These results highlight how structural support, such as parental leave and wage transparency, can be translated into measurable differences in women’s lives and provide a blueprint for other countries looking to improve gender equality.”
Meanwhile, Italy and Greece are at the bottom of the list, with life scores of 52 and 56.
Italy has the highest employment gap among all countries analyzed, followed by Greece.
Meanwhile, the UK has the lowest proportion of female entrepreneurs, while France has the widest gender pay gap at 22.2%.
