Statement 1 is incorrect -: Recently the 2022 Global Gender Gap Index was released by the World Economic Forum (WEF). Political Empowerment: This includes metrics such as: The percentage of women in Parliament, the percentage of women in ministerial positions etc. Of all the sub-indices, this is where India ranks the highest (48th out of 146). However, notwithstanding its rank, its score is quite low at 0.267. Statement 2 is correct -: The silver lining is that despite the reduction, India’s score is above the global average in this category. Economic Participation and Opportunity: This includes metrics such as: The percentage of women who are part of the labour force, wage equality for similar work, earned income etc. Here, too, India ranks a lowly 143 out of the 146 countries in contention even though its score has improved over 2021 from 0.326 to 0.350. Educational Attainment: This sub-index includes metrics such as: Literacy rate and the enrolment rates in primary, secondary and tertiary education. Here India ranks 107th out of 146, and its score has marginally worsened since last year. Statement 3 is correct -: Health and Survival: This includes two metrics: The sex ratio at birth (in %) and healthy life expectancy (in years). In this metric, India is ranked the last (146) among all the countries.
