Statistics Norway released its latest gender‑equality indicators for Norwegian municipalities, updated on 1 December 2025. The data show that 94.3 % of children aged 1‑5 are enrolled in kindergarten. In local government, 59.4 % of municipal and county council seats are held by men, compared with 40.6 % by women. Women outnumber men in higher education (43.2 % vs. 32.5 %) and in the workforce (74.6 % vs. 79.1 % for men). Part‑time work is far more common among women (33.4 % vs. 15.8 % for men). The share of fathers taking at least the full statutory quota is 67.5 %. Gender‑balance scores for business structure and upper‑secondary education are 0.62 and 0.67, respectively. These figures illustrate persistent gaps in political representation and leadership roles, while education and workforce participation show progress toward parity.
