India's gender gap widens as it drops to 131st spot in Global Gender Gap Index 2025
India has been ranked 131 out of 148 countries in the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2025, slipping two places from its position last year. PTI reported that India's gender parity score stands at just 64.1 per cent, placing it among the lowest-ranked countries in the South Asian region, according to the report released on Thursday. In the 2024 edition of the report, India was ranked 129. The gender-parity score is a measure used to assess the relative equality or disparity between males and females in a particular region. According to PTI, the Global Gender Gap Index evaluates gender parity across four key dimensions: economic participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment. The Indian economy's overall performance showed a slight improvement in absolute terms, rising by 0.3 points. PTI reported that 'one dimension where India increases parity is in Economic Participation and Opportunity, where its score improves by 0.9 per cent to 40.7 per cent. While most indicator values remain the same, parity in estimated earned income rises from 28.6 per cent to 29.9 per cent, positively impacting the subindex score.' Labour force participation parity remained the same as last year at 45.9 per cent, India's highest achieved to date. In the dimension of educational attainment, India scored 97.1 per cent, reflecting improvements in female literacy and tertiary education enrolment. These gains positively influenced the subindex score. India also records higher parity in health and survival, driven by improved scores in sex ratio at birth and in healthy life expectancy. However, the report noted that this parity was achieved despite a reduction in overall life expectancy in both men and women. India recorded a slight drop in political empowerment, with parity dropping by 0.6 points since the previous edition. Female representation in Parliament fell from 14.7 per cent to 13.8 per cent in 2025, bringing the indicator score below 2023 levels for the second consecutive year. Similarly, the share of women in ministerial positions fell from 6.5 per cent to 5.6 per cent, bringing the indicator score further from its peak of 30 per cent recorded in 2019, PTI reported. Among South Asian countries, Bangladesh emerged as the best performer, jumping 75 ranks to reach the 24th position globally. The report said the global gender gap has closed to 68.8 per cent, marking the strongest annual advancement since the COVID-19 pandemic, reported PTI. Iceland continues to top the index for the 16th year running, followed by Finland, Norway, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. PTI also reported that the progress made in the 19th edition of the report was driven primarily by steady progress in political empowerment and economic participation, while educational attainment and health and survival maintained the near-parity levels. However, despite women representing 41.2 per cent of the global workforce, a stark leadership gap persists, with women holding only 28.8 per cent of top leadership positions, the report said. 'At a time of heightened global economic uncertainty and a low growth outlook combined with technological and demographic change, advancing gender parity represents a key force for economic renewal,' Saadia Zahidi, Managing Director, World Economic Forum, told PTI. 'The evidence is clear. Economies that have made decisive progress towards parity are positioning themselves for stronger, more innovative and more resilient economic progress,' Zahidi said.

India slips to 131st position in Global Gender Gap Index 2025
With a parity score of just 64.1 per cent, India is among the lowest-ranked countries in South Asia, according to the report released on Thursday. New Delhi, Jun 12 (PTI) India has ranked 131 out of 148 countries in the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2025, slipping two places from its position last year. The Global Gender Gap Index measures gender parity across four key dimensions: Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment. The Indian economy's overall performance improved in absolute terms by +0.3 points. 'One of the dimensions where India increases parity is in Economic Participation and Opportunity, where its score improves by +.9 percentage points to 40.7 per cent. While most indicator values remain the same, parity in estimated earned income rises from 28.6 per cent to 29.9 per cent, positively impacting the subindex score,' the report said. Scores in labour force participation rate remained the same (45.9 per cent) as last year — India's highest achieved to date. In educational attainment, the report said, India scored 97.1 per cent, reflecting positive shifts in female shares for literacy and tertiary education enrolment, which result in positive score improvements for the subindex as a whole. 'India also records higher parity in health and survival, driven by improved scores in sex ratio at birth and in healthy life expectancy,' it said. However, similar to other countries, parity in healthy life expectancy is obtained despite an overall reduction in the life expectancy of men and women, the report said. 'Where India records a slight drop in parity (-0.6 points) since the last edition is in Political Empowerment. Female representation in Parliament falls from 14.7 per cent to 13.8 per cent in 2025, lowering the indicator score for the second year in a row below 2023 levels,' it said. Similarly, the share of women in ministerial roles falls from 6.5 per cent to 5.6 per cent, moving the indicator score (5.9 per cent) further away this year from its highest level (30 per cent in 2019), it said. With notable gains in political empowerment and economic participation, Bangladesh emerged as the best performer in South Asia, jumping 75 ranks to rank 24 globally. Nepal ranked 125, Sri Lanka 130, Bhutan 119, Maldives 138 and Pakistan 148. The report said the global gender gap has closed to 68.8 per cent, marking the strongest annual advancement since the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet full parity remains 123 years away at current rates, according to the report. Iceland leads the rankings for the 16th year running, followed by Finland, Norway, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. The 19th edition of the report, which covers 148 economies, revealed both encouraging momentum and persistent structural barriers facing women worldwide. The progress made in this edition was driven primarily by significant strides in political empowerment and economic participation while educational attainment and health and survival maintained near-parity levels above 95 per cent. However, despite women representing 41.2 per cent of the global workforce, a stark leadership gap persists with women holding only 28.8 per cent of top leadership positions, the report said. 'At a time of heightened global economic uncertainty and a low growth outlook combined with technological and demographic change, advancing gender parity represents a key force for economic renewal,' said Saadia Zahidi, Managing Director, World Economic Forum. 'The evidence is clear. Economies that have made decisive progress towards parity are positioning themselves for stronger, more innovative and more resilient economic progress,' Zahidi said.
