India’s gender gap widens as it drops to 131st spot in Global Gender Gap Index 2025
- The World Economic Forum released its Global Gender Gap Report 2025 on June 12, ranking India 131st out of 148 countries.
- India slipped two places from 2024 as structural barriers caused declines in political empowerment, with female Parliament representation falling to 13.8%.
- The report noted improvements in India's economic participation, with its score rising 0.9 percentage points to 40.7%, and educational attainment scoring 97.1%.
- The gender gap in earned income narrowed slightly, increasing from 28.6% to 29.9%, while the proportion of women holding ministerial positions declined from 6.5% to 5.6%, moving further away from the 2019 high of 30%.
- Although India has made progress in health equality and economic involvement, its drop in ranking underscores persistent difficulties, indicating that achieving full gender equality is likely many decades in the future at the current pace.
