US EditionIndia’s gender gap widens as it drops to 131st spot in Global Gender Gap Index 2025
- In the 2025 Global Gender Gap index published by the World Economic Forum, India dropped two places to position 131 among 148 evaluated nations.
- This drop by two spots from 2024 followed a relative decline caused by stronger performances in other economies like Bangladesh, which rose 75 ranks to 24th.
- India's overall parity score improved slightly by 0.3 points with gains in economic participation and opportunity increasing by 0.9 percent to 40.7%, while female political representation declined.
- The report highlights India scored 97.1% in educational attainment and saw parity in health and survival rise due to better sex ratio at birth and life expectancy.
- Although India has seen some incremental gains in certain areas, the decrease in women’s representation in Parliament and ministerial roles indicates that achieving gender equality in political empowerment is still many decades away at the present pace.
