Jakarta: Indonesia is closing in on its overall gender gap, according to the 2020 Global Gender Gap Index. The country ranks 85th out of 153 countries, scoring 0.700 – which it shares with the Dominican Republic and Vietnam.

The index, published by the World Economic Forum earlier this month, measures gender gaps based on 14 indicators across four sub-indexes, which are economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, health and survival and political empowerment.Indonesia’s score of 0.700 represents a 0.01 increase from 2018. On a global scale, all countries are also doing better than last year, scoring 68.6% compared to 68%.

However, there is a wide range across regions. For instance, Western Europe is the closest to gender parity with 54.4 years to go while East Asia and the Pacific region – to which Indonesia belongs – is a distant 163.4 years away to achieving gender parity.The country does particularly well in four indicators, ranking first on each: the sex ratio for legislators, senior officials and managers, enrolment in secondary education, enrolment in tertiary education and the sex ratio at birth.
