Recommendation

While the gender gap has been narrowing for some time in areas such as health care and education, opportunities for women in business and politics remain much more limited. This World Economic Forum report reveals some noteworthy trends in gender equality, but a few real-world examples and anecdotes would have brightened a somewhat dull, statistically driven narrative. Nonetheless, getAbstract recommends it to economists, business leaders and others interested in the connection between closing the gender gap and achieving economic gains.

Take-Aways

  • While no country has reached complete equality between men and women, a study of 142 nations shows that they have closed nearly 96% of the gap in health outcomes and 94% of the gap in education.
  • But no nation has erased the gender gap when it comes to economic participation or political empowerment.
  • Iceland is at the top of the list in gender parity; Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark round out the top five, while Yemen ranks last.
