Workplace Gender Gap Won’t Close Until 2095, WEF Finds

Economic equality between men and women globally won’t be achieved for another eight decades, the World Economic Forum concluded in a report.

The study of 142 countries, published annually by the Geneva-based organization, found that women’s attainments and opportunities in the workplace are 60 percent those of men, up from 56 percent in the first such report in 2006. On this basis, parity will be achieved only in 81 years.
