3 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

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

5 Global Gender Gap Index Four critical areas for measuring the gender gap Educational attainment Economic participation and opportunity Political empowerment Health and survival 14 variables – 13 from hard data and 1 from survey data All data truncated at equality benchmark. Weights by standard deviation within a subindex and simple average between the 4 subindexes.

16 Dynamics of the Gender Gap Source: World Economic Forum – Global Gender Gap Report 2013

17 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.

20 Policy Framework for Gender Equality The magnitude and type of gender gaps in countries around the world are the combined result of various socioeconomic and cultural variables. Policy can play a key role in influencing gender equality. In order to complement the data presented in this Report and to build a more comprehensive picture of the policy environment, the World Economic Forum has conducted a survey of national policy frameworks relating to parental leave, availability of childcare, type of taxation and workplace equality. The result is presented in the Report.
