Women have come a long way since the industrial revolution. From taking their husband’s and brother’s place in the workforce during the world war to becoming CEOs of big corporations, women have proved their worth at workplaces. But their inclusion in the workforce at desirable numbers as compared to men is still a far fetched dream. According to the latest World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2020, gender parity is still 99.5 years away.
The analysis presented in the Global Gender Gap Report 2020 is based on a methodology integrating the latest statistics from international organizations and a survey of executives.
The report highlights the gender differences in salaries, managerial position and education. The report states that “none of us will see gender parity in our lifetimes, nor likely will many of our children.”
