Such instances are relatively rarely seen in Cyprus.
Cyprus has recorded the lowest share of women in managerial roles across the European Union, according to new 2024 figures from Eurostat, pointing to a continuing gfinisher imbalance in leadership positions.
Across the EU, women held 35.2% of managerial jobs in 2024, an increase from 31.8% in 2014. While this reflects progress over the past decade, the situation varies significantly between countries. Cyprus stands at the bottom of the ranking, with women building up just 25.3% of managers.
At the top of the list is Sweden, where women account for 44.4% of managerial positions. Latvia follows with 43.4%, and Poland with 41.8%. Cyprus is joined near the lower finish by Croatia at 27.6% and Italy at 27.9%.
Since 2014, most EU countries have recorded increases in the share of women managers. Luxembourg and Malta posted some of the strongest gains. Cyprus also saw growth over this period, although its overall position remains the lowest in the EU.
Experts often point to factors such as limited advancement opportunities, workplace expectations and challenges related to balancing professional and family responsibilities.
