The World Economic Forum (WEF) issued its 2017 report on November 2, finding the parity gap widening for the first time since it began publishing the Global Gender Gap Report in 2006.
A total of 68% of the world’s gender gap is now closed, showing a slight 0.3% deterioration compared to 2016.
Some countries, including France and Canada, have made big strides towards parity in the past year. Iceland remains the world’s most gender-equal country.
Iran slipped one place, ranking 140th only before Chad, Syria, Pakistan and Yemen.
Iran’s global index scores 0.583, in economic participation and opportunity, scores 0.357, and in political empowerment, scores 0.046.
