The World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2020 found that there is still a long way to go to achieve worldwide gender equality. The report measures the gaps between men and women in health, education, work and politics.
In the past 50 years, 85 states have had no female head of state. There are 72 countries where women are barred from opening bank accounts or obtaining credit. Globally, only 55% of women (aged 15-64) are engaged in the labour market
Our country is ranked 112th in these ranks. Last year, in 2018, India was on the 108th position on the World Economic Forum's Gender Gap Report. 150th place on health and survival, 112th on educational attainment and 149th in economic participation. The first World Economic Forum Gender Gap Index was published in 2006 when India was ranked at 98th position
It was said in the report that there are very few economic opportunities for women in India. It is 34.5 per cent in India, 32.7 per cent in Pakistan, 27.3 per cent in Yemen and 22.7 in Iraq.
Iceland 1st is ranked as the most appropriate country for women representation followed by Norway 2nd Finland 3rd and Sweden 4th. China ranked 106th, Bangladesh ranked 50th, Brazil ranked 92nd, Nepal ranked 101, Indonesia ranked 85th and Sri Lanka ranked 102nd. The report suggests that it will take 95 years to close the political gender gap as women hold 25.2 per cent of parliamentary seats worldwide. The report also highlights that as per the present scenario, workplace inequality will not be erased until the year 2276.
