In 2016, the Republic of Serbia became the first non-EU country to introduce the Gender Equality Index.

On 12 December 2018, Serbia launches the second edition of its national Gender Equality Index. The Index is based on EIGE's six main domains: health, money, knowledge, work, time and power.

On the occasion of this launch, EIGE will present its cooperation with EU candidate countries and potential candidates at the Palace of Serbia.

It is important to point out that in 2016, the Republic of Serbia became the first non-EU country to introduce the gender equality index. This index measures progress in achieving gender equality in the following areas:

work (participation in jobs, division of jobs and quality of work performed by women);
money (economic situation of women and access to financial resources);
knowledge (achievements on education, divisions in levels of education, constant learning);
spending time (matching between work, caring for the household and family, social activities);
power (participation in politics, social power and economic power);
health (access to health services, health status).
