The Little Data Book on Gender 2019
This
World Bank publication illustrates the progress towards gender equality for 217 economies around the world. It provides comparable statistics for women and men in 2000 and 2017 across indicators for education, health and related services, economic structure, participation and access to resources, public life and decision making, and agency, enabling readers to compare economies. The data reveal remarkable progress towards gender equality, notably in education and health. However, gender gaps persist to the detriment of girls in low-income countries, mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa, where gender inequality in access to economic opportunities has persisted. Globally, women’s labor force participation decreased from 51 percent in 2000 to 48 percent in 2018.
