What’s the situation like in your country in terms of gender equality?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2023 Global Gender Gap Index<\/a><\/strong>, which annually benchmarks the current state and evolution of gender parity since 2006 across 146 countries and four key dimensions (Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment), no country has yet achieved full gender parity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top nine countries (Iceland, Norway, Finland, New Zealand, Sweden, Germany, Nicaragua, Namibia and Lithuania) have closed at least 80% of their gap. For the 14th year running, Iceland (91.2%) takes the top position and is the only country to have closed more than 90% of its gender gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender parity in Europe<\/strong> with its 76.3% ranks first of eight geographic areas and surpasses the parity level in North America (75%) this year. Closely behind Europe and North America is Latin America and the Caribbean, with 74.3% parity. Trailing more than 5 percentage points behind Latin America and the Caribbean are Eurasia and Central Asia (69%) as well as East Asia and the Pacific (68.8%). Sub-Saharan Africa ranks 6th (68.2%), slightly below the global weighted average score (68.3%). Southern Asia (63.4%) overtakes the Middle East and North Africa (62.6%), which is, in 2023, the region furthest away from parity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this scenario Italy stands 79th this year<\/strong> compared to 2022 when it was in 63rd position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender Equality in Economic Participation and Opportunity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The state of gender parity in the labour market remains a major challenge according to the Global Gender Gap Index. Not only has women\u2019s participation in the labour market globally slipped in recent years, but other markers of economic opportunity have been showing substantive disparities between women and men. While women have (re-)entered the labour force at higher rates than men globally, leading to a small recovery in gender parity in the labour-force participation rate since the 2022 edition, gaps remain wide overall and are apparent in several specific dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
