When the Paris Agreement was signed in 2015, almost 200 countries committed to improving their practices to have a better impact on the environment and society. Those involved agreed to achieve each of the goals set in the 2030 Agenda, along with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which include ending poverty, improving education, health and well-being, achieving gender equality, among others. To date, none of the countries have managed to reach the goal, and according to the 2019 SDG Gender Index, Equal Measures 2030—a coalition of organizations including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Plan International— , it will not be achieved by the set date either. The country that is closest to achieving gender equality is Denmark, with an indicator of out of .
However, with data from 129 countries – covering 95% of the world's female population – the authors conclude that 40% of girls and women (1.4 billion) live in countries that fail in gender equality—those that obtain less than 59 points out of 100. Another more recent study says that most of us will not be alive to see gender equality spread around the world, since we are a hundred years away. One hundred years to achieve global gender equality The World Economic Forum's (WEF) annual Argentina Mobile Number List Global Gender Gap Report ranked Iceland as the most gender equal country for the 11th consecutive year, followed by its Nordic neighbors Norway, Finland and Sweden. Syria, Pakistan, Iraq and Yemen scored the lowest. To obtain the results, the report analyzed the progress towards gender parity of 153 countries. The focus was on four main themes: Economic participation. Educational achievement. Health and survival. Political empowerment. “This year’s report highlights the growing urgency for action,” the report says, adding… At the current rate of change, it will take almost a century to achieve parity, a timeline we simply cannot accept in today's globalized world, especially among younger generations who have increasingly progressive views on gender equality.
According to the report, some of the four themes show progress: 35 countries have already achieved gender equality in education and all countries are expected to achieve it in at least a decade. Women's health and survival are also improving: 48 countries surveyed have achieved near equality on this issue. Women's economic participation and opportunities regressed this year: “only a handful of countries” are approaching equality, and the world will need 257 more years to fully achieve it. On average, just over half of all adult women are in the workforce, compared to 78% of men, the report's authors said. Looking at the four areas, across countries with a wide range of attitudes towards gender equality, the report predicts that it will take 99.5 years to achieve it worldwide. These are the first 50 positions in the ranking. Mexico is located in 25th place in the world.
