India has improved its performance in a global gender gap measure that tracks
relative divide between men and women across four key areas: health, education,
economy and politics. The World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Index
placed India 108th out of 145 countries, up six notches from last year’s ranking.
Having more than doubled the number of women in ministerial positions (from 9%
to 22%), the country registered notable progress in representation of women in
political leadership. However, it performed poorly in economic participation for
women, slipping five places to 139, lowest since the index was launched in 2006.
Worldwide, the gender gap across all pillars (economy, politics, health & education)

past 10 years. In education, the gap has decreased compared to 2006 and now
stands at 95%. ‘Health and survival’ is closest to parity, at 96%, but the gap has
