WEF – Global Gender Gap Report 2022

WEF
Another generation of women will have to wait for gender parity, according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2022. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be felt, in 2022, the global gender gap has been closed by 68.1%. At the current rate of progress, it will take 132 years to reach full parity. This represents a slight four-year improvement compared to the 2021 estimate (136 years to parity). However, it does not compensate for the generational loss which occurred between 2020 and 2021: according to trends leading up to 2020, the gender gap was set to close within 100 years.
