Women Are Better at Leading Countries Than Men, Survey Respondents Say

According to the U.N., only 28 countries have women as elected heads of state or government. However, a survey indicates strong public support for more female leaders. About 70% of respondents believe that nations led by women are better managed, while 90% think women deserve equal rights. This data comes from the 2022 Best Countries survey conducted between April and July this year with over **17,000 participants across 36 countries**. The findings reveal that both men (88%) and women (93%) largely agree on equality between genders; interestingly, older individuals tend to be even more supportive than younger ones. Experts suggest that having more female leaders correlates positively with social issues like healthcare and education being prioritized. This underscores the vital role that diverse leadership plays in shaping policies that address pressing societal challenges and foster an inclusive environment for all citizens.
