Why we need a sprint towards gender parity: the Global Gender Gap Report 2024
Description
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.
Forum Managing Director Saadia Zahidi talks us through the main finding of the Global Gender Gap Report 2024 and how she sees the progress and challenges in closing the gender gap worldwide.
