3. Norway

Insider Monkey Score: 2.91

Norway is among the best countries in the world when it comes to gender equality, including equality at work. In June this year, Norway’s government reached an agreement with the business lobby and unions to force large and medium-sized companies to phase in 40% female representation on their boards within five years.

The plan, which the cabinet says is the first of its kind globally, will initially cover about 8,000 companies next year and expand to encompass about 20,000 companies with more than 30 employees by 2028.
