Global Gender Gap Report 2025

This year, the 19th edition of the Global Gender Gap Index benchmarks gender parity across 148 economies, providing a basis for the analysis of gender parity developments across two-thirds of the world’s economies. Further, the index examines a subset of 100 economies that have been included in every edition of the index since 2006, offering a broad country sample for longitudinal and trend analysis. The Global Gender Gap Index measures scores on a 0-1 scale, and scores can be interpreted as the distance covered towards parity (i.e. the percentage of the gender gap that has been closed, numbers rounded). Cross-economy comparisons support the identification of the most effective policies to close gender gaps.

Key findings include the index results in 2025, trend analysis of the trajectory towards parity and in-depth examination of historical and emerging patterns through new metrics, partnerships and contextual data.
