    'Gender gap' is biggest in Egypt

    男女不平等 埃及排第一

    'Gender gap' is biggest in Egypt

    'Gender gap' is biggest in Egypt

    Women in Egypt are the furthest behind men in terms of economic equality, while no country has closed the "gender gap" entirely, a new survey has found.

    Sweden has the smallest difference between the sexes, followed by Norway, Iceland, Denmark and Finland, according to the World Economic Forum.

    The report singled out the US for particular criticism, saying it "lags behind many Western European nations".

    The WEF ranked nations on five criteria, including equal pay and access to jobs.

    Other factors were representation of women in decision-making structures, equal access to education and access to reproductive healthcare.

    The WEF survey covered all 30 industrialised countries in the Paris-based Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), plus 28 emerging market countries.

    Several of the most populous nations in the world languish at the lower end of the table. India, Pakistan, Turkey and Egypt are all in the bottom 10.

    "Their rankings reflect large disparities between men and women of all five areas of the index," the WEF said in its report, with the only bright spot being India's high score for political empowerment of women.

    Latin America has its share of poor performers, with Venezuela, Brazil and Mexico all in the worst 10.

    "The problem here appears to be not in the lack of opportunity once women have entered the workforce, but rather in giving them access to the educational training and basic rights, such as healthcare and political empowerment, that will enable them to join the workforce," the WEF said.

    The US, the world's largest economy, came 17th in the WEF's equality table.

    It "ranks poorly on the specific dimensions of economic opportunity and health and well-being, compromised by meagre maternity leave, the lack of maternity leave benefits and limited government-provided childcare," the WEF said.

    In Asia, China was the highest-rated country at number 33 - scoring well on economic participation, but badly on education and political empowerment. Japan is a few places behind at 38.

    一項最新的調查表明,盡管世界上還沒有一個國家可以完全解決性別差距問題,但埃及婦女在經濟平等方面與本國男性差距最大。

    世界經濟論壇的調查顯示,瑞典是全世界性別差距最小的國家,緊隨其后的是挪威、冰島、丹麥和芬蘭。

    這份報告還單獨將美國列出,指責其“落后于許多西方國家”。

    世界經濟論壇的排名主要基于五項標準,包括平等的工資待遇和就業機會。

    其他因素還包括:女性在決策機構中的代表權、平等接受教育的權利以及享有生育保健的權利。

    這次的調查覆蓋了總部設在巴黎的經濟合作與發展組織旗下的30個工業化國家,以及28個新興市場國家。

    好幾個世界人口大國的排名都很靠后。印度、巴基斯坦、土耳其和埃及都在后10名之列。

    世界經濟論壇的報告指出:“這些國家的排名反映出在這五個調查領域里女性與男性的巨大差距。”唯一的亮點是印度婦女在政治權利一項中得分較高。

    一些拉美國家的情況也很差,像委內瑞拉、巴西和墨西哥,排名都在倒數前10名之內。

    世界經濟論壇認為,“問題并不在于女性工作后不能獲得平等的機會,而是女性缺少接受教育培訓的機會,女性的一些基本權利無法得到保障,比如健康保健和政治權利,而這些恰恰對女性就業有很大幫助。”

    世界最大的經濟體美國在這次排名中名列第17位。

    世界經濟論壇指出美國在就業機會、健康和福利方面排名靠后,這主要是因為在美國,婦女產假較短,產假期間收入較少,還有政府對兒童提供的照顧有限。

    在亞洲國家中,中國表現最好,排在第33位——中國在婦女就業方面得分較高,但在教育和政治權利方面表現較差。日本稍落后于中國,排在第38位。
