TEXT I
Only six countries have equal rights for men and
women, World Bank finds
London (CNN) The world is moving towards legal
gender equality -- but it's moving very, very slowly.
Only six countries currently give women and men
equal rights, a major report from the World Bank has found. That's an increase -
- from zero -- compared to
a decade ago, when the organization started
measuring countries by how effectively they
guarantee legal and economic equality between the
genders. But the rate of progress means that, by
CNN calculations, women won't achieve full equality
in the areas studied by the World Bank until 2073.
Belgium, Denmark, France, Latvia, Luxembourg and
Sweden scored full marks of 100 in the bank's
"Women, Business and the Law 2019" report. Of
those nations, France saw the biggest improvement
over the past decade for implementing a domestic
violence law, providing criminal penalties for
workplace sexual harassment and introducing paid
parental leave. But countries in the Middle East and
Sub-Saharan Africa averaged a score of 47.37,
meaning the typical nation in those regions gives
women under half the legal rights of men in the areas
measured by the group. The study aimed to "develop
a better understanding of how women's employment
and entrepreneurship are affected by legal
discrimination," highlighting "how women must
navigate discriminatory laws and regulations at every
point in their careers, limiting their equality of
opportunity." It did not measure social and cultural
factors, or how effectively laws were enforced. The
criteria analyzed were: going places, starting a job,
getting paid, getting married, having children, running
a business, managing assets and getting a pension.
Those were broken down into questions such as:
"Can a woman travel outside her home in the same
way as a man?" and "Is there legislation specifically
address domestic violence?" Overall, the global
average came in at 74.71 -- an increase of more than
four and a half points compared to a decade ago. But
the score indicates that in the average nation, women
receive just three-quarters of the legal rights that men
do. The United States scored 83.75, placing it outside
the global top 50. The United Kingdom achieved a
score of 97.5, Germany measured at 91.88, and
Australia scored 96.88. "If women have equal
opportunities to reach their full potential, the world
would not only be fairer, it would be more prosperous
as well," World Bank Group Interim President
Kristalina Georgieva said. "Change is happening, but
not fast enough, and 2.7 billion women are still legally
barred from having the same choice of jobs as men."
The study is the latest to stress the economic
benefits of guaranteeing legal gender equality.
According to a separate report from the McKinsey
Global Institute, released in 2015, closing the gender
gap in the workforce could add $28 trillion to the
global GDP -- nearly the size of the US and Chinese
economies combined.
