New World Economic Forum report: East Asia will take 189 years to achieve gender equality

On June 20, the World Economic Forum released the 2023 Global Gender Gap Statement. Chen showed that although the global gender equality status has returned to the pre-COVID-19 level, the growth of gender equality has slowed down seriously, and the multi-country index even showed a flash of growth.

Geographically, Europe is the most gender-equal region, with Iceland topping the list for the 14th year in a row. East Asia and the Pacific region showed rapid growth, with China, Japan and South Korea ranking at the bottom. At the current pace, it will take 58 years longer than the global average of 131 years for the region to achieve gender equality.

Looking at the global unemployment rate, women’s unemployment rate is still higher than men’s, and men occupy a larger proportion of executive positions than women. The proportion of female workers in emerging fields such as technology and AI is much lower than that of men.

The World Economic Forum’s report, which covers 146 countries, breaks down gender differences in four categories: economic participation, political participation, education, health and career status. Since 2006, the company has published a report of gender differences every year.

In this year’s report, the 146 countries cleared 68.4 percent of the gender gap, only 0.3 percentage points lower than when the report was published last year and 4.1 percentage points lower than when the report was first published in 2006. As the process of gender equality has all but stopped, it is estimated that the world will not achieve gender equality until 2154, as predicted last year.

Saadia Zahidi, executive director of the World Economic Forum, said the coronavirus pandemic, economic and geopolitical crises have had a negative impact on gender equality around the world. Over the past year, gender inequalities in health and education have worsened, but the pause in political participation has come to an end, and women’s economic participation has surged.

At the current rate, it will take only 16 years to achieve gender equality in teaching, but 162 and 169 years, respectively, to achieve equality in politics and economics.

The 10 countries with the smallest gender gaps out of 146 were Iceland, Norway, Finland, New Zealand, Sweden, Germany, Nicaragua, Namibia, Lithuania and Belgium. The researchers developed a gender equality index based on four categories, including economic participation. The closer the index is to 1, the more equal the country is.

No country has achieved full gender equality yet, but the top nine countries have eliminated at least 80% of the gender gap. Iceland is the only country to eliminate more than 90 percent of the gender gap, making it the world’s most gender-equal country for the 14th consecutive year.

By region, Europe has the best gender equality in the world, clearing 76.3% of the gender gap. A third of the countries in the region made it into the global top 20, and more than half eliminated 75% of the gender gap. It is estimated that it will take 67 years for Europe to achieve gender equality, the second shortest of any region.

North America came in second after Europe, with 75% of the gender gap erased. Last year, North America was the world’s best region for gender equality, but this year’s statistics show that North America has grown by 1.9 percentage points. The United States grew 2.1 percent, while Canada grew 0.2 percent. The United States ranked 43rd out of 146 countries.

Latin America and the Caribbean region ranked third in the regional rankings, clearing 74.3% of the gender gap. But gender equality in the region stalled at a rapid rate, down 1.7 percentage points from last year’s report. It is estimated that the region will achieve gender equality in just 53 years, the shortest of any region.

In East Asia and the Pacific, the picture is grim. The region cleared 68.8% of the gender gap, ranking fifth out of eight regions. But over the past decade, growth in gender equality in East Asia and the Pacific has stalled. Compared with last year’s report, this year’s data also grew by 0.2 percentage points.

Of the 19 countries in the East Asia and Pacific region, 11 have improved compared to last year, eight have grown, and one has not changed. New Zealand, the Philippines, Australia and Singapore are the best countries in the region for gender equality, while Fiji, Myanmar and Japan are at the bottom.

Japan ranked 19th, with a gender equality index of 0.647, the lowest in East Asia and the Pacific. South Korea and China ranked 14th and 15th respectively. Globally, China, Japan and South Korea ranked 107th, 125th and 105th, respectively, with their gender equality index lower than last year.

Chen guesses that at the current pace, it will take another 189 years for East Asia and the Pacific to achieve gender equality. This is not only higher than the global average of 131 years, but also higher than the Middle East and North Africa region of 152 years.

The Middle East and North Africa region had the worst gender equality among the eight regions, clearing 62.6% of the gender gap, down 0.9 percentage points from last year’s report. The United Arab Emirates, Israel and Bahrain are the best countries in the region for gender equality, while Morocco, Oman and Algeria are at the bottom.

Looking at the unemployment situation, the rate of women entering or returning to work in the past year was slightly higher than that of men, and the gender parity in the labor force participation rate fell to 64 percent from 63 percent reported last year. But women’s unemployment rates remain higher than men’s, at 4.5 percent and 4.3 percent, respectively.

In addition, it is more common for women to rest in the informal economy. From 2020, four out of every five jobs created for women will be in the informal economy.

Citing a survey of 163 countries by linkedin, a workplace networking service, Chen said women made up 41.9 percent of the workforce so far this year, but only 32.2 percent of senior mentoring positions (including director, vice president or executive). In executive positions, the share of women falls to 25 per cent.

Over the past eight years, the percentage of women in guiding positions has steadily increased by 1% per year. This trend began to worsen in 2022 and grew to 2021 levels this year.

In terms of job types, health care nurses, teaching and customer service are still dominated by female labor force, and female labor force accounts for 64.7% of the health care nurses. The kerosene, gas, mining and infrastructure sectors have the fewest female workers, accounting for only about 22% of the workforce.

The science, skill, engineering and mathematics (STEM) field will be a fast-growing industry in the future, but only 29.2% of the STEM workforce is female. In the current hot AI industry, women workers accounted for 30%, down 4 percentage points from 2016.

Compared with economic participation, gender equality in political participation still has a long way to go. As of December 31, 2022, 27.9% of the world’s countries have female heads of state. Last year, 22.9 percent of members of parliament in 76 countries around the world were women.

Musk’s mom stopped him from dating The UFC president is counting the money

The richest man in the world, Tesla CEO Musk and the 10th richest list, Facebook parent company Meta CEO Zuckerberg on the Internet “about a fight” caused the whole network to watch, but also let the final fight championship (UFC) to see the business opportunity to block missed.

UFC President Dana White said the showdown between Musk and Zuckerberg “will be the biggest fight in the history of the world, higher than any previous contest.” Mindful of the unprecedented ratings, White has begun to set the price of watching the competition.

But Musk’s mother, Maye Musk, sent a message to Rutter announcing that she had unilaterally banned the competition. After that, whether Musk and Zuckerberg will still open the monk of the century is unknown.

On June 24, Meyer inherited the fire in Lath, only hit the spit battle, each of the three results, whose riddle is the most funny who wins, the support of the hands up.

On Friday, she and the two Lavins announced that she had unilaterally banned the fight between Musk and Zuckerberg, “I don’t tell them yet, but I will inherit the fight, just in case.” Musk himself recovered his face from tears and laughter under this article.

The two rich men have repeatedly openly confronted each other on topics such as the universe and AI. Musk has always been wary of the growth of AI, thinking that it will threaten human careers, while Zuckerberg is more optimistic.

In a Facebook Live broadcast in 2017, Zuckerberg said that he did not understand the AI advocates who have been preaching doom, thinking that relevant practices do not violate their obligations. Musk immediately attacked Lat, saying that he had discussed the achievements of AI with Zuckerberg and that “his knowledge of the topic is very limited.”

Since buying Lat, Musk has also repeatedly counterattacked Meta’s Instagram, WhatsApp and other applications. The confrontation between the two is precisely due to a new plan of Meta.

Us media reported earlier this month that Meta is preparing to launch Rut’s rival Threads and is currently serving celebrities such as celebrity host Oprah Winfrey as its first users. Like Rutter, Threads is a pen-and-ink medium, but users can automatically follow bloggers they already follow on Instagram.

This week, Musk in response to the matter in the Rutter, throat said that the earth will have no choice in the future, all under the control of Zuckerberg. One commenter joked that Musk was on guard because Zuckerberg had learned jiu-jitsu.

Musk later recovered: “I’m happy to go to the octagon cage fight, as long as he’s happy.” Octagon cage is the official title of the UFC’s decomposed fight cage.

Zuckerberg in the recovery of netizen message pick and, let Musk choose to fight. Musk restored the “Octagon Cage” in Las Vegas, which is an important city for UFC events.

But Musk also announced that he has a trick called “walrus,” which involves lying on top of an opponent and doing nothing. He also acknowledged that he was largely inactive and that his main activity was to hand over children and throw them in the air.

Musk’s series of messages also let the outside world speculate that he and Zuckerberg about the fight is just a stubborn laugh. Mr Musk, who is bigger and fatter, turns 52 this month, while Mr Zuckerberg is 39. Zuckerberg is learning to break down fighting and won gold and silver MEDALS in two categories at the Brazilian jiu-jitsu competition in California last month.

According to Oddschecker, Zuckerberg’s probability of winning is as high as 83.3%, while Musk’s is only 25%.

Given the huge amount of money that the fight can bring, UFC President White is waiting for the two men to fight as planned.

White said in an interview with the media on Thursday that Zuckerberg first contacted him and asked Musk if he was serious about a fight. White then approached Musk, who replied, “I’m serious.”

White thinks the competition is likely to happen because Musk’s temperament is not easily compromised. White has already started the preliminary planning of the contest and set the free scale. While a regular UFC event costs $80 to watch on television, White plans to charge $100 for two grams.

The UFC’s last pay-for-play peak was a 2017 event (Mayweather vs. McGregor) that generated $600 million in payouts for the UFC. White guesses that Musk and Zuckerberg combined will spend three times as much as they did in 2017. He promised that if the two were serious, the contest would come true.
