Recommendation

Even as global economic growth picks up steam, women continue to occupy a distant back seat when it comes to occupational participation and political clout. While gender parity would broaden the labor pool and provide an economic shot in the arm for many countries, progress in closing the gender gap has sputtered, according to the 2017 edition of the World Economic Forum’s insightful report. But nations achieving improvements outnumber those that have regressed – offering cause for optimism. getAbstract recommends this study’s eye-opening findings to policy experts and business leaders. 

Take-Aways

  • This latest annual study of the global gender gap reveals trends in four critical areas: education, health, political power and economic inclusion. 
  • The worldwide gender gap closure is 68%, meaning that women have nearly one-third less parity than men, on average, in these four areas. 
  • Countries with the most equitable practices are Iceland, Norway, Finland, Rwanda, Sweden, Nicaragua, Slovenia, Ireland, New Zealand and the Philippines.
