According to the World Talent Ranking index, compiled by a Swiss business school, Estonia has jumped from the 27th place in the previous ranking to 19th in the 2020 report.
The World Talent Ranking, compiled by the International Institute for Management Development, a business education school located in Lausanne, Switzerland, scores countries across three factors – investment and development, readiness and appeal.
According to the report, the index addresses the questions of how different economies invest and develop their local talent; how do countries appeal to the international talent pool as well as retaining their own high-skilled work force; and how do economies measure the quality of the skills and competences that are available.

Updated On January 27, 2021
The European country Estonia on January 26 became the only country in the world that is currently led by women. The females in the front line are the elected President Kersti Kaljulaid and the elected Prime Minister Kajas Kallas.

Kaljulaid had nominated Kajas Kallas to form the government on January 14, 2021. Kallas will lead a coalition between her Reform Party and the Centre Party while serving as the Estonian Prime Minister. After assuming office on January 26, she became the first female Prime Minister of Estonia.

On 26 January, at sunrise – 8:44 AM to be precise – Estonia became the only country in the world that’s currently led by women: both the elected president, Kersti Kaljulaid, and the elected prime minister, Kaja Kallas, are female.
The keyword here, though, is “elected” – there are three other countries where the head of state and the prime minister are both women. New Zealand and Barbados are led by female prime ministers and their common head of state is the sovereign of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth – Queen Elizabeth II. Denmark is also led by a female prime minister; its head of state is another monarch, Queen Margrethe II.
New Minister of Foreign Affairs and previous ambassador to the Czech Republic Eva-Maria Liimets says that she is joining the government to offer her foreign and security policy competence. I came to this position to share my foreign and security policy expertise and to also work with the party, Liimets responded to a question about her relationship with the Center Party, under which she was appointed as the foreign minister in the new Reform-Center government. While a Center candidate for the foreign minister position, Liimets is not a member of any party.
According to the incoming foreign minister, there is no reason to expect a sudden turn in Estonia s foreign policy and the new government will continue in a steady direction. Estonia s goal is to continue with its current foreign policy - embedding relationships with NATO allies, working with European Union partners, promoting European values - those are the main topics that we will work and continue on, Liimets told ERR.
