This figure is an improvement over previous decades, but clearly still low. According to an article published on dalszerzo.hu, only 5% of the authors registered before 2005 were women. In 2020, more composers were registered than ever before, and the number of newly registered women also rose to 338, accounting for 21%.
There are currently 4,101 female songwriters and composers in Artisjus' database. Some 42% only write lyrics, 28% are just composing, while 30% are doing both.
