Japan has improved its ranking in the Global Gender Gap Report 2024, moving up to 118th place out of 146 countries from 125th the previous year. Despite this progress, Japan continues to face challenges, particularly in the political and economic spheres. The country remains the lowest-ranked among the Group of Seven nations, 31 places below Italy, the second-lowest ranked G7 member. The report, released by the World Economic Forum, highlights that global gender parity is still a distant goal, with estimates suggesting it could take another 134 years to achieve. Meanwhile, India has slipped two places to 129th, with significant issues in economic gender parity, where women earn Rs 39.8 for every Rs 100 that men earn. Iceland leads the world in gender equality, while India showed the best gender parity in terms of enrolment in secondary education and ranked 65th globally on political empowerment of women.
