Impacts of the narrowing gender gap


Women gain as gender gap narrows

Year 11 and 12 you should read the above article which looks at the impact of the narrowing gender gap on women in particular. 

The gap between men and women has narrowed slightly in the past year in most countries according to a World Economic Forum (WEF) report.

Iceland, Finland and Norway top the list of 136 nations, based on political participation, economic equality and rights like education and health.

The Middle East and North Africa were the only regions not to improve in the past year, with Yemen at the bottom. Why do you think this might be? What do you think about the gender gap in Egypt? Is it narrowing or not?
