Closing the Global Gender Gap
(Crossposted from Forumblog.org - The World Economic Forum Weblog)
Sweden (1), Norway (2), Finland (3) and Iceland (4) once again top the rankings in the World Economic Forum's latest Global Gender Gap Report. All countries in the top 20 made progress relative to their scores last year – some more so than others. Latvia (13) and Lithuania (14) made the biggest advances among the top 20, gaining six and seven places respectively, driven by smaller gender gaps in labour force participation and wages. The Report covers a total of 128 countries, representing over 90% of the world’s population.
