New Pan-Hellenic Social Survey by Focus Bari

Focus Bari conducted a nationwide social survey on behalf of Game of Money entitled “From fasina to fintech: Where Greek women stand today,” exploring the position of women in vital areas of modern life.

The results were presented at the Game of Money Festival 2025 on November 16 at the Athens Conservatory, demonstrating that, despite progress over time, gender equality continues to be experienced differently by men and women, with women questioning its implementation in practice more strongly. More specifically:

• Equality with cracks: Only 36% of the population says that women and men now have equal opportunities, with the percentage varying dramatically between men (51%) and women (23%). At the same time, 81% of women believe that men support equality mainly in theory, compared to 43% of men.

• Two-speed careers: 4 in 10 Greeks (41%) believe that there are equal opportunities for professional advancement, with the difference doubling between the two genders (46% men – 22% women). Similarly, 2 in 3 women (66%) say that the pay gap remains an obstacle, compared to 34% of men.

• Silent undermining in the workplace: 66% of women say that micromanagement practices (e.g., interrupting) mainly target women, compared to 30% of men, highlighting two different experiences in the workplace.

• Pressure from within: The only area of convergence between men and women concerns competition among women, revealing a less visible but significant dimension of internal misogyny.
