The Global Gender Gap Index, 2019

Gender inequality arises from differences in social, political, and civil rights between men and women and has persisted in various forms since ancient times. The Global Gender Gap Report states that none of us will see gender equality during our lifetimes. If true, this will mean a perpetuation of stunted economic development. Without the full deployment of roughly half of the world’s total talent pool, full competitiveness and future-readiness of the world's economies and businesses are simply unachievable.
