The World Economic Forum found that overall progress toward full parity has slowed and that the global gap is still not expected to close entirely until 2154.
Global gender parity, which was rocked by labor disruptions and other aspects of the pandemic, is back to pre-Covid levels — but the gap isn’t expected to close entirely for 131 years, according to the World Economic Forum.on Tuesday, which found that the overall gender gap has narrowed by 0.3 percentage points compared to last year.
That’s the same year they had forecast in last year’s report — far beyond the 100 years that a pre-pandemic report had predicted. “It’s clear that there was a massive generational loss that was created because of the pandemic and everything that followed afterwards,” said World Economic Forum Managing Director Saadia Zahidi, one of the co-authors of the report. “And now we’ve sort of stalled in terms of progress, even if some of the numbers have started to recover.”The report ranked the United States 43rd among 146 countries examined, compared to 27th last year on its global gender parity index.
