Mint Views | India slips to 112th position World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap report

India has slipped four places to 112th position in a ranking of 153 countries in the Global Gender Gap Report 2020 released by the World Economic Forum. The report tracks gender gap on four fronts: economic, political, education and health. While on political participation, India has fared well (18th place), on the other three parameters, it has done poorly. These broadly highlight the general biases against women be it in society or at work. A paradigm shift is needed in people’s attitudes so that women get an equal opportunity in every sphere of life.
