This report emphasizes the urgency of achieving gender parity across education, health, politics, and economic participation to build fairer and more inclusive economies in the 2020s. It leverages the Global Gender Gap Index, a 14-year tracking tool, to highlight disparities and prioritize actions in diverse contexts. The report calls for collective efforts by businesses, governments, and global leaders to accelerate change by promoting workforce equality, closing pay gaps, and enhancing leadership diversity. It also outlines initiatives like the “Closing the Gender Gap Accelerators” and “Hardwiring Gender Parity in the Future of Work,” aimed at embedding gender parity into emerging professions and addressing systemic challenges.
