The global gender gap report [2006-2022]

Ensuring the full development and appropriate deployment of half of the world's total talent pool has a vast bearing on the growth, competitiveness and future-readiness of economies and businesses worldwide. The Global Gender Gap Index was first introduced by the World Economic Forum in 2006 as a framework for capturing the magnitude of gender-based disparities and tracking their progress. The Index examines the gap between men and women in four fundamental categories (subindexes): (1) Economic participation and opportunity; (2) Educational attainment; (3) Health and survival; and (4) Political empowerment. Gender parity is fundamental to whether and how economies and societies thrive. The Global Gender Gap Report benchmarks 149 countries on their progress towards gender parity across four thematic dimensions: Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment. In addition, this 2018 edition studies skills gender gaps related to Artificial Intelligence (AI).
