Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Women won't have equality for 100 years - World Economic Forum
How equal women are to men? In most countries, women are not particularly segregated from men in theory and by law. But in practice, there still seems to be a considerable gap between them.
According to the data from the World Economic Forum (WEF), the gap widened in 2017 from the previous year, especially in jobs and politics, whereas in narrowed in education and health.
Overall, the Nordic countries, such as Iceland, Norway, Finland, and Sweden have much less gender gap compared to others in the world. Many middle eastern and African countries showed the widest gap except Rwanda, which was ranked number four in the world in terms of gender equality.
What makes difference to close the gap? Is that the law, tradition, religion or discrimination?
Enjoy reading and think if and how equally women are treated in your country and society.
