The us any other last year4/6/2023 The Health and Survival subindex has varied only slightly over time, reaching its lowest point in 2018 and recovering marginally since then, though short of its 2006 level. The Educational Attainment subindex also improved steadily towards parity, with step-changes in 20. Economic Participation and Opportunity had one period of increasing parity between 20, and one long period of negative evolution after 2013 until 2017. During the sixteen-year period since the report's inception, each subindex has shown different trends. An analysis of subindex evolution over time - based on the constant sample of 102 countries included in the index since 2006 - reveals that gender parity overall and for three of the four subindexes has made progress since the first edition.The Educational Attainment subindex fell from 95.2% to 94.4% while Political Empowerment remained the same, at 22%. The Economic Participation and Opportunity subindex also increased from 58.7% to 60.3%, as did the Health and Survival subindex from 95.7% to 95.8%. Comparing this year's results against last year's by examining the 145 countries covered in both the 20 editions shows that the overall gender parity score rose from 67.9% to 68.1%.The time to close the Health and Survival gender gap remains undefined as its progress to parity has stalled. Based on the evolution of the global average scores for each subindex over the past 16 editions for the constant sample of 102 countries, at the current rates of progress, it will take 155 years to close the Political Empowerment gender gap, 151 years for the Economic Participation and Opportunity gender gap, and 22 years for the Educational Attainment gender gap.Nicaragua and Germany are the new entrants in the top 10 in 2022, while Lithuania (79.9%,11th) and Switzerland (79.5%, 13th) drop out this year. Sub-Saharan African countries Rwanda (81.1%, 6th) and Namibia (80.7%, 8th), along with one Latin American country, Nicaragua (81%, 7th), and one country from East Asia and the Pacific, New Zealand (84.1%, 4th), also take positions in the top 10. Other Scandinavian countries such as Finland (86%, 2nd), Norway (84.5%, 3rd) and Sweden (82.2%, 5th) feature in the top 5, with additional European countries such as Ireland (80.4%) and Germany (80.1%) in 9th and 10th positions, respectively. Iceland remains the only economy to have closed more than 90% of its gender gap. Although no country has yet achieved full gender parity, the top 10 economies have closed at least 80% of their gender gaps, with Iceland (90.8%) leading the global ranking.Across the 146 countries covered by the 2022 index, the Health and Survival gender gap has closed by 95.8%, Educational Attainment by 94.4%, Economic Participation and Opportunity by 60.3% and Political Empowerment by 22%.
