Global Gender Gap Index • Why create an Index? • No country in the world has yet reached gender equality but there are major variations across countries. • Gender inequality is a matter of equity as well as a matter of efficiency The Global Gender Gap Index seeks to: • track the magnitude and direction of gender-based inequalities over time • create an opportunity to “learn” from successful countries • foster greater awareness of the challenges as well as the opportunities World Economic Forum 4

Global Gender Gap Index Four principal features of the Global Gender Gap Index: • It measures gender gaps rather than levels of women’s empowerment • It measures outcomes, not enabling factors • It rewards parity • It is comparable across time and comparable relative to an equality benchmark World Economic Forum 5

Global Gender Gap Index Economic participation Political empowerment and opportunity Four critical areas for measuring the gender gap Educational attainment Health and survival • 14 variables – 13 from hard data and 1 from survey data World Economic Forum 6 • Variables weighted by standard deviation

Competitiveness & Gender Gap One of the most important determinants of a country’s competitiveness is its human talent – the skills, education and productivity of its workforce. Women account for one half of the potential talent base throughout the world. Over time, a nation’s competitiveness depends significantly on whether and how it develops and utilizes female talent. This implies that countries that do not capitalize on the full potential of one half of their societies are misallocating their human resources and undermining their competitive potential.
