India ranks 135 out of 146 in Gender Gap Index

Subject : Governance

Section: Index and Report

Context:

What is Gender Gap Index?

  • The Global Gender Gap Index benchmarks gender parity across four key dimensions or sub-indices:
  1. Economic participation and opportunity
  2. Educational attainment
  3. Health and survival
  4. Political empowerment
  • It measures scores on a 0-to-100 scale, which can be interpreted as the distance covered towards parity or the percentage of the gender gap that has been closed.
  • It was released by the World Economic Forum

Key takeaways from the Index:

  • India ranks 135 among a total of 146 countries in the Global Gender Gap Index, 2022. In 2021, India ranked 140 out of 156 nations
  • India ranks 146 in health and survival, 143 in economic participation and opportunity, 107 in educational attainment and 48 in political empowerment
  • India ranks poorly among its neighbours and is behind Bangladesh (71), Nepal (96), Sri Lanka (110), Maldives (117) and Bhutan (126)
  • Only the performance of Iran (143), Pakistan (145) and Afghanistan (146) was worse than India in South Asia
  • The report says that India will now take 132 years to reach gender parity, with the gap reducing only by four years since 2021 and the gender gap closed by 68.1%.

World Economic Forum:

  • It is an international non-governmental and lobbying organisation based in Geneva, Switzerland
  • It was founded on 24 January 1971 by German engineer and economist Klaus Schwab
  • The WEF is mostly known for its annual meeting at the end of January in Davos, a mountain resort in the eastern Alps region of Switzerland.
