Overview

• Gender equality is framed as both a moral imperative and an economic necessity.
• The 2018 Global Gender Gap Index finds that women have reached "68 percent parity overall," leaving a gap of "32 percent."
• The index measures the gender gap in four areas: economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, health and survival, and political empowerment.

Leadership and broader economic power

• Key statistics on representation and positions of power:
  • Women represent "18 percent" of ministers globally.
  • Women represent "24 percent" of parliamentarians globally.
  • Women hold "34 percent" of managerial positions.
• Women experience large gaps relative to men in control of financial assets and in time spent on housework and other unpaid tasks.

Technology and AI skills gap

• The report highlights a pronounced gender gap in technology-related skills:
  • Only "22 percent" of AI professionals worldwide are women.
  • "78 percent" of AI professionals worldwide are men.
• Implications emphasized:
  • The AI skills gap may worsen future gender gaps because AI skills will be increasingly in demand.
  • Technology developed without diverse talent limits innovative and inclusive capacity.
  • Low integration of women in AI represents a "significant missed opportunity" given existing scarcity of talent in the field.

Policy implications and pathways

• To remain competitive, countries must make gender equality a priority.
• The report identifies potential role models: countries that, within their region or income group, lead in distributing resources more equitably between women and men, regardless of overall resource levels.
