&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;India was the third-worst performer in South Asia, after Afghanistan and Pakistan. Bangladesh topped the list in the region.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India has fallen 28 spots to rank 140th among 156 countries on the World Economic Forum&amp;rsquo;s Global Gender Gap index. In 2020, India had ranked 112th among 153 countries on the index.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The index benchmarks the evolution of gender-based gaps among four key dimensions &amp;ndash; Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment &amp;ndash; and tracks progress towards closing these gaps over time,&amp;rdquo; the World Economic Forum said in its Global Gender Gap Report 2021, which was released on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The report said that India had so far closed 62.5% of its gender gap. It noted that most of the decline was seen on the Political Empowerment sub-index, where India went back 13.5 percentage points. &amp;ldquo;The main change that took place this year is the significant decline in the share of women among ministers, which halved, from 23.1% in 2019 to 9.1% in 2021,&amp;rdquo; the report added. &amp;ldquo;In addition, the share of women in parliament remains stagnant at 14.4% and the share of the last 50 years in which a woman has been head of state is 15.5%.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Global Gender Gap Report added that reduction in women&amp;rsquo;s labour force participation rate was another reason for the drop in India&amp;rsquo;s rank. &amp;ldquo;In addition, the share of women in professional and technical roles declined further to 29.2%,&amp;rdquo; the report said. &amp;ldquo;The share of women in senior and managerial positions also remains low: only 14.6% of these positions are held by women and there are only 8.9% of firms with female top managers.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

<p style="text-align:justify"><em>India was the third-worst performer in South Asia, after Afghanistan and Pakistan. Bangladesh topped the list in the region.</em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">India has fallen 28 spots to rank 140th among 156 countries on the World Economic Forum&rsquo;s Global Gender Gap index. In 2020, India had ranked 112th among 153 countries on the index.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">&ldquo;The index benchmarks the evolution of gender-based gaps among four key dimensions &ndash; Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment &ndash; and tracks progress towards closing these gaps over time,&rdquo; the World Economic Forum said in its Global Gender Gap Report 2021, which was released on Tuesday.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The report said that India had so far closed 62.5% of its gender gap. It noted that most of the decline was seen on the Political Empowerment sub-index, where India went back 13.5 percentage points. &ldquo;The main change that took place this year is the significant decline in the share of women among ministers, which halved, from 23.1% in 2019 to 9.1% in 2021,&rdquo; the report added. &ldquo;In addition, the share of women in parliament remains stagnant at 14.4% and the share of the last 50 years in which a woman has been head of state is 15.5%.&rdquo;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The Global Gender Gap Report added that reduction in women&rsquo;s labour force participation rate was another reason for the drop in India&rsquo;s rank. &ldquo;In addition, the share of women in professional and technical roles declined further to 29.2%,&rdquo; the report said. &ldquo;The share of women in senior and managerial positions also remains low: only 14.6% of these positions are held by women and there are only 8.9% of firms with female top managers.&rdquo;</p>
