Description
India ranks 129th out of 146 nations in the 2024 Global Gender Gap Index. This is the same position it has had in the bottom twenty for the past few years. This demonstrates that closing the gender gap has been difficult for many years, despite modest advances in some fields. Iceland retained its top spot on the rankings list.
About The Global Gender Gap Index
The Global Gender Gap Index, which debuted in 2006, looks at gender equality in economic participation and opportunity, education, health and survival, and political empowerment. The index ratings, which range from 0 (no parity) to 1 (full parity), highlight gender imbalance above women's performance.
Analysis Of India's Sub-Indiced Performance
Economic participation- India's 39.8% score ranks 142nd, demonstrating a persisting gender imbalance in the working and managerial ranks, despite a slight gain over prior years.
Educational Attainment- India is ranked 112th in education, with a 96.4% gender gap bridged. This demonstrates that educational equality is improving but remains below global standards.
Health and Survival- India ranks 142nd (0.951), indicating severe gender health disparities.
Political Empowerment- India ranks 65th in terms of political inclusion, closing the gender gap by 25.1%.
Regional Comparison
In South Asia, India ranks fifth out of seven countries, while Bangladesh leads the world at 99th. India often underperforms in terms of gender fairness, particularly when compared to its neighbors. Discrimination based on gender costs the global economy up to $12 trillion every year. Improving gender equality has the potential to significantly boost economic growth. This highlights the importance of gender equality in economic policymaking.
