KEY POINTS

·        India’s five-rank improvement on the World Economic Forum’s latest Global Gender Gap Index detracts from the fact that its performance on gender equality remains among the worst in the world.

·        At rank 135 out of 146 countries against 140 out of 156 countries in 2021, it ranks above only 11 countries.

·        The country performs decently on political empowerment, which measures the percentage of women in Parliament or holding ministerial positions.

·        On the index labelled educational attainments, which measures literacy and enrolment rates at all levels, India ranks 107 out of 146.

·        Both these indices are a reflection of persistent traditional patriarchal attitudes towards women, including their chances of being born.

·        Here, India ranks 143 out of 146 countries, though this is, inexplicably, an improvement from its 2021 ranking. At 20.6 per cent, the female labour force participation rate represents a fall from its pre-Covid level of 22.8 per cent, which is hardly a healthy trend.

·        Though it is true that the pandemic-induced job and income losses impacted women around the world, they appear to have had a disproportionate impact in India. During the post-pandemic recovery, it’s the men who have returned to the workforce where jobs are still scarce .
