How women fare around the world

20131026_gdc638_3

FOR eight years the World Economic Forum has released a ranking of how women are narrowing the gap compared to men in the terms of political participation, economic opportunity, health and education. The highest ranked countries are Scandinavian; almost two-thirds of 136 countries examined narrowed their gaps. (Intriguingly, the Philippines ranked 5th and Cuba 15th, far ahead of Britain and America.) Yet the overall scores mask interesting differences. Looking at the G20—a smattering of countries from all regions that play a role in international policymaking—the degree to which equality in health and education has largely been achieved is striking. The most notable outliers are Turkey and South Korea, who both seem ready to graduate from emerging market status—but in terms of gender equality, look to have more work to do. And Japan is especially depressing: the third largest economy ranks 105th in the Forum’s report.
