Vor allem aufgrund von Covid-19 hat sich das "Gender Gap" in der MENA Region vegrößert, allerdings schneidet die Region besser ab als Südostasien

The 2021 report found work to achieve equality had been set back by a generation by the Covid-19 pandemic, with the new study revealing only one in five of the 146 economies surveyed had been able to close the gender gap by at least 1 per cent in the past year.

Globally, countries will take another 132 years, compared to 136 in 2021, to close the gender gap.

In Mena, this figure stands at 115 years.

The region had an average score of 63.4 per cent, while South Asia, which ranked the lowest, had 62.3 per cent of the gender gap closed.(...)

Middle East and North Africa has closed 96.4 per cent of its gender gap for health and survival.

Also, there was improvement on the economic participation and opportunity subindex, which raised the level of progress in closing the gender gap from 44 per cent to 46 per cent in 2022.

In educational attainment, the region achieved 96.2 per cent of gender parity. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Kuwait and Qatar have closed their gender gaps in primary education.

The 2021 report found that Mena had a score of 60.9 per cent with about 40 per cent yet to be closed. At the time, the report said it would take 142.4 years to close the gender gap in primary education in the region.
