BD improves remarkably in reducing gender gap

[BDforever]

Bangladesh has recorded a remarkable improvement in global ranking on reduction of gender gap, according to the latest report published by the World Economic Forum (WEF).

The Global Gender Gap Report 2017, released on Thursday, shows that Bangladesh has been ranked 47th among 144 countries considered in the gender gap index by jumping 25 steps within a year from 72nd position in 2016.

Bangladesh is among the top 10 countries in the ‘political empowerment’ pillar of the index and stood 7th.

The country’s rank improved in the ‘economic participation and opportunity’ pillar as it was ranked 129th this year from earlier 135th position.

Ranking also marked a rise to 111th from 114th in the ‘educational attainment’ during the period under review.

But the country’s position deteriorated in the ‘health and survival’ pillar as the ranking significantly dropped to 125 in the current year from 93 in the past year.

Overall, new data from the WEF pointed out that the gap between the achievements and well-being of men and women reduced significantly during the past year.

Bangladesh jumps 25 notches to 47th in gender parity: WEF

Bangladesh has jumped 25 notches to 47th place in the Global Gender Gap ranking, according to the World Economic Forum.

According to the study, Bangladesh has managed to close just under 72 percent of the gender gap.

Bangladesh scored 0.719 (with complete parity at 1) on the gender parity index and was ranked the highest among the South Asian nations. Maldives came second in the region at 106, with India at 108, Sri Lanka 109, Nepal 111, Bhutan 124 and Pakistan 143.

“Bangladesh (47) further consolidates its position as the region’s top performer and climbs several spots this year, recording progress across all dimensions of the Economic Opportunity and Participation subindex,” it said.

The South Asia region, however, is the second-lowest scoring in the 2017 Global Gender Gap Index, performing better than the Middle East and North Africa and worse than Sub-Saharan Africa and other regions. The average remaining gender gap in South Asia is 34 percent.

Gender parity in Bangladesh has improved among legislators, senior officials, managers, professionals and technical workers and in terms of earned income and wage equality.

There has, however, been a slight widening of the healthy life expectancy gender gap, the report said.

Bangladesh’s strongest category was political empowerment, where the country ranked 7th among 155 countries. It performed worst in economic participation and opportunity, in which it currently ranks 129th.

The Global Gender Gap Index was first introduced by the World Economic Forum in 2006 as a framework for capturing the magnitude of gender-based disparities and tracking their progress over time.

Bangladesh had come in 91st place in the 115 countries analysed in the first report.

The World Economic Forum reported that in 2017 the speed with which the gap was decreasing has fallen for the first time since 2006.

Last year the World Economic Forum estimated that, if 2016 trends continued, the gender gap would disappear in 83 years. This year’s report says closing the gender gap could take 100 years if current trends continued.

LOL, and where did WEF take its numbers from silly?

I am talking about the actual base survey number and analysis credibility.

When there is any straying/composite from BBS, we end up with things like liveability index by EIU (and we all know how Dhaka fared in that one LOL). Like a rickety narrow BBS wooden plank to walk on and a swampy effluent all around that you fall into when you stray one little bit .

Fun to see you lot so desperate to prop up your corrupt institutions and politicians this way...just to feel a bit better and justified about your LDC. Good! We need more of this so real work can be done behind the scenes to manage BD and keep the actual reality where it is firmly so BD stays very vulnerable and open to exploitation.
