Global gender gap report

The Global Gender Gap Report shows that there is a serious imbalance between men and women in today's society. The gender gap leads many men not to get married. One of the reasons for this situation is the concept of son preference. Let me show you the Global Gender Gap Report. Let's have a look.

Global Gender Gap Report 1 The World Economic Forum released the Global Gender Gap Report 202 1. On a global scale, the average distance to achieve equal pay for equal work is 68%, which is 0.6 percentage points lower than that in 2020. The gender gap in political empowerment is still the largest, which has only narrowed by 22% so far, 2.4 percentage points higher than the 2020 report. The gender gap in economic participation and opportunities still ranks second, with a decrease of 58%. In terms of education level, the global gender gap has narrowed by 95%, and 37 countries have achieved equality.

Gender Gap, COVID-19 and the Future of Work

The early forecast of the International Labour Organization shows that 5% of employed women are unemployed, while only 3.9% of employed men are unemployed. LinkedIn data further shows that the recruitment of female leadership positions has fallen sharply.

The COVID-19 crisis has also accelerated automation and digitization, and accelerated the subversion of the labor market.

In the field of cloud computing, women account for14% of the workforce; 20% in the engineering field; Data and artificial intelligence account for 32%.

The report also studies the gender gap in job-hopping, for example, in the field of cloud computing, the gap is 58%.

Gender gap between countries and regions

Iceland became the most gender-equal country in the world for the first time 12.

The countries with the greatest progress in the comprehensive index this year are Lithuania, Serbia, Timor-Leste, Togo and the United Arab Emirates, and the gender gap has narrowed by at least 4.4 percentage points.

There are significant differences between different regions and within regions. Western Europe is still the region with the fastest progress in achieving gender equality (77.6%). North America ranked second (76.4%), followed by Latin America and the Caribbean (7 1.2%), Eastern Europe and Central Asia (7 1. 1%), East Asia and the Pacific (68.9%), sub-Saharan Africa (67.2%) and South Asia. Middle East and North Africa (60.9%).

Generally speaking, it takes more than 100 years to eliminate the gender gap: sub-Saharan Africa needs1210.7 years, Eastern Europe and Central Asia needs 134.7 years, East Asia and the Pacific needs 165. 1 year, and the Middle East.

Global gender gap report 2 20 17 1 1. According to the Global Gender Gap Report 20 17 released by the World Economic Forum, among the 44 economies in the world, China ranks first from the bottom in terms of women's "health and survival". Among them, China's "sex ratio at birth" has been seriously unbalanced for a long time.

There will be more than 30 million leftover men in China.

The gender ratio is usually based on the number of men per 100 women.

The sixth population census in 20 10 showed that the sex ratio at birth in China was 1 18.06, which was 10.2 percentage points higher than that before. Since then, this proportion has been declining, and it has dropped to 1 13.5438+0 by 20 15.

Under normal circumstances, for every 100 girls born, 103- 107 boys will be born. Because the mortality rate of boys is higher than that of girls, the number of men and women tends to be equal at the age of marriage and childbearing. Therefore, the United Nations set 103- 107 as the normal value of the sex ratio at birth.

This imbalance has brought many problems. Experts estimate that there will be more than 30 million "leftover men" in China in the next 30 years. Even if you are lucky enough, such as a bride price of 688,000 in Jiangxi and a mother who can't afford a bride price for her son in Henan, this kind of "poverty caused by marriage" will be drawn by many people.

The sex ratio at birth in 9 provinces is seriously unbalanced.

At one time, gender imbalance spread all over most provinces in China.

In 20 10, the sex ratio of the birth population in nine provinces in China exceeded 120, and the birth population in these nine provinces accounted for 39.9% of the country. In Tibet, Xinjiang, Beijing and other areas where the sex ratio at birth is normal or slightly higher, the birth population only accounts for 3.5% of the country.

It's all about having a son.

This sense of urgency to have a boy is more intuitive in the gender ratio of different children. According to the four total population surveys since 1982, the sex ratio at birth of two children, three children and above is almost much higher than that of one child.

This kind of gender selection, especially in rural areas. It is understood that the sex ratio of rural children aged 0-4 in China has reached 1.22. The first child is a woman, and the sex ratio of the second child is even as high as 194.3.

In rural society, customs, culture and traditional ideas still follow the rules of patriarchy, which strengthens the cultural identity of gender differences and makes it difficult for women to obtain the same rights as men.

A survey of six counties 1508 villages in Hubei, Anhui and Guangxi shows that it is common for daughters to stay in their villages after marriage and not enjoy the treatment of villagers; The property was only given to the son, which was recognized by most villagers.
