Gender Gap Index



The World Economic Forum (WEF) has named Iceland as the country with the smallest gap between the sexes, for the fifth consecutive year in a row. Finland, Norway, Sweden and the Philippines make up the top five of the gender gap index while Canada ranks 20 out of 136 countries. The index assesses four key areas – health (life expectancy, etc), access to education, economic participation (salaries, job type and seniority) and political engagement.

If you would like to see the complete report as a pdf click here.  To see the full article click here.   If you would like to see the data as a spreadsheet (and be able to look at previous years data), click here.

The map below is interactive.  Just mouse over the country to see it's rank.  You can zoom in by using the mouse or the +- icon.  You can grab and move the map also.
