Global Gender Gap Report 2021: Germany Rises, US Falls, India Struggles.

Germany has climbed four places to land the sixth spot in the Global Gender Gap rankings, while Iceland remains atop the list that evaluates countries' gender gaps across four dimensions. The study covers 146 countries across the globe, where the necessary data on the economic and educational participation of women is available. Despite progress towards narrowing the gender gap, the World Economic Forum found that overall progress toward equality has slowed and that the narrowing of the gap is going at a snail's pace, with it not expected to close entirely for well over a century.
