Database of publications / The Global Gender Gap Report 2006

This report includes an innovative new methodology including detailed profiles of each economy that provide insight into the economic, legal and social aspects of the gender gap. The Report measures the size of the gender gap in four critical areas of inequality between men and women: 1. Economic participation and opportunity - outcomes on salaries, participation levels and access to high-skilled employment 2. Educational attainment - outcomes on access to basic and higher level education 3. Political empowerment - outcomes on representation in decision-making structures 4. Health and survival - outcomes on life expectancy and sex ratio
