About
India has climbed eight places in the recent annual Gender Gap Report, 2023, and is ranked 127 out of 146 countries in terms of gender parity, from 135 last year.

The Global Gender Gap Index annually benchmarks the current state and evolution of gender parity across four key dimensions
Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment,
Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment.

It is the longest-standing index tracking the progress of numerous countries’ efforts toward closing these gaps over time since its inception in 2006.

The goal of the report is to offer a consistent annual metric for the assessment of progress over time. The index and the analysis focus on benchmarking parity between women and men across countries and regions.

India was ranked 127 out of 146 countries in terms of gender parity — an improvement of eight places from 2022.

The country had attained parity in enrolment across all levels of education.

India had closed 64.3% of the overall gender gap. However, it underlined that India had reached only 36.7 % parity in economic participation and
opportunity.

In India, while there had been an uptick in parity in wages and income, the share of women in senior positions and technical roles had dropped slightly since the last edition.
