Global Gender Gap Index – Hungary ranks 105 per 153

The new WEF Gender Gap Report reveals that the world is approximately 100 years from total gender equality. The situation is particularly bad in Hungary, as we ranked at the bottom of the Gender Gap Index.

According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), none of us will see gender parity in our lifetime. The Global Gender Gap Report reveals that it will take about 100 years to attain gender parity.

The Global Gender Gap Report 2020 benchmarks 153 countries on their progress towards gender parity in four dimensions: Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment.

Gender parity has almost been achieved in terms of educational attainment and health and survival. 35 countries have already achieved total equality in educational attainment, and statistics suggest that in just 1.5 centuries, all other countries will follow.

Although there is no country in the world that achieved gender equality in politics, there is apparent positive progress in terms of leadership and women’s representation in politics. The biggest gap between genders can still be found in economic participation and opportunity.
