In its latest Global Gender Gap Report, the think-tank says that the gap in health, education,economic opportunity and politics around the world has closed by only 4 per cent in the pastdecade, whilst the economic gap has narrowed by just 3 per cent, suggesting it will takeanother 118 years to achieve equality.
在最新《全球性别差距报告》(Global Gender Gap Report)中,世界经济论坛表示,过去10年,全球在健康、教育、经济机会和政治方面的性别差距仅仅弥合了4%,经济差距仅缩窄了3%,这表明,要实现男女平等需要再等118年。

“Women hold the majority of senior roles in only a handful of countries,” said Saadia Zahidi,head of the global challenge on gender parity at WEF, which works with corporates such asCoca-Cola, Bank of America, Bloomberg, Renault-Nissan and SABMiller on the issue. “Companies and governments need to implement new policies to prevent this continued lossof talent and instead leverage it for boosting growth and competitiveness.”
“女性仅在很少几个国家获得大多数高层职位,”世界经济论坛全球性别平等项目主管萨阿迪亚丠止迪(SaadiaZahidi)表示,“企业和政府需要实行新的政策防范人才继续流失,并在这方面施压促进增长和提高竞争力。”世界经济论坛正与可口可乐(Coca-Cola)、美银(Bank of America)、彭博(Bloomberg)、雷诺-日产(Renault-Nissan)和SABMiller等公司就这个问题展开合作。
