Gender equality a far-fetched goal; women living alone more likely to be in the labour market, finds report

Gender equality across the world remains a far-fetched goal and no country has achieved it so far, according to the 2020 edition of the United Nations report on the state of gender equality in the world.

The attitudes of discrimination, however, have slowly changed in the last two decades, Liu Zhenmin, chief of the United Nation’s economic and social affairs department (DESA), said in a statement during the launch of the report.

But there are plenty of challenges: Gender gap in the labour market, for example, has not budged a bit since 1995, the report titled World’s Women: Trends and Statistics found. It was released October 20.

While the status of women has improved with regard to education, early marriage, childbearing and maternal mortality, the progress has stagnated in other areas, the DESA chief said in a statement.  

The report provided a reality-check on the global status of women 25 years since the world adopted the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
