Bulgaria Ranked as Best European Country for Women to Work
Bulgaria ranks first in the study “The Best European Countries for Women to Work” conducted by the British digital marketing agency Reboot Online. Our country scored 236.6 points out of a possible 300.
The index evaluates the European countries on a variety of factors to determine which countries offer the best prospects for female professionals. Aspects considered in the study are: maternity leave packages, economic opportunity and women in leadership roles.
According to Reboot Online Bulgaria has one of Europe’s best maternity packages. The country allows women to take a minimum of 58.6 weeks off (410 days) – the longest minimum maternity leave in the world. In addition, mothers receive 90% of their full salary during their leave. As a result, Bulgaria scores the highest possible 100 points per category.
Bulgaria comes in third place for women in leadership, awarded 90 points in the index – 10 points less than the leader in this category – Norway, and 6 points behind the second in the ranking – Romania. According to our analysis, 22.1% of Bulgarian women hold leadership roles.
Bulgaria finishes mid-table in terms of economic opportunities (46.6 points), but its overall result ranks it first among all 29 countries in the ranking.
