That's according to The Economist's glass-ceiling index.
Researchers used data from the World Economic Forum's "Gender Gap Report," the OECD, and other sources to measure how well the world's top economies have "leveraged their female talent pool."
Despite progress being made, equality is still a long way off.
Data on nine metrics was taken into consideration, including higher education, maternity leave, labour force participation and child-care costs.
The UK, the US and Germany all fall below the OECD average and the top of the list is made up predominantly of Scandinavian countries.
In the run-up to International Women's Day, which takes place on March 8, we've revistited the index to find out which countries offer the best conditions for its female workforce.
