- This is released by two UN agencies – UN Women and UN Development Programme.
- The bodies collated data from 114 countries and analysed them based on the twin indices of Women’s Empowerment Index (WEI) and the Global Gender Parity Index (GGPI).
- On an average, women are empowered to achieve only 60 per cent of their full potential.
- They also were found to achieve 28 per cent less than men across key human development dimensions, as measured by the GGPI.
- None of the 114 countries analysed achieved full women’s empowerment or complete gender parity.
- The report provides for the first time—a more comprehensive picture of progress in women and girl’s human development.
- Of the 114 countries analysed, 85 have low or middle women’s empowerment and low or middle performance in achieving gender parity.
- More than half the countries in this group are in the high (21 countries) or very high human development group (26 countries).
