This World Economic Forum report benchmarks the current state of gender parity across 145 economies. It reveals that, while gender parity has reached its highest level to date, significant gaps persist in economic participation and political empowerment.
It highlights how a shifting geoeconomic order, the emergence of artificial intelligence, and a rapidly changing climate and energy landscape are reshaping economies, politics, jobs, health, and pathways to economic mobility. Against this backdrop, gender parity is fundamental to unlocking the innovation, creativity and resilience economies will need to navigate this new era. This 20th edition traces the next frontiers of parity, including senior leadership, representation across industries, participation in AI-related roles and representation in financial markets.
