Comparing the gender gap on a global scale
How do countries measure up in comparison to one another when it comes to addressing the gap between men and women in terms of economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, health and survival, and political empowerment.

Country Profiles in Part II of this Report provide an overview of the national gender related environment in each country.
