The Global Gender Gap Index annually benchmarks the current state and evolution of gender parity across four key dimensions (Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment). It is the longest-standing index tracking the progress of numerous countries’ efforts towards closing these gaps over time since its inception in 2006.

This is the full audio of a video briefing to explore the current state of global gender parity. Featuring insights from the Global Gender Gap Report 2024, this discussion examines the progress and challenges in closing the gender gap worldwide.
