The World Economic Forum (WEF) released the *Global Gender Gap Report 2022* on Wednesday (July 13, 2022).
The report examines gender inequality in four areas: political empowerment, economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, and health and survival.
The WEF's gender gap index uses a scoring system with a scale ranging from 0-1. A score of "0" indicates a very wide gender gap, and a score of "1" indicates the achievement of full equality.
In this year's WEF report, Indonesia generally received a gender gap index score of 0.697 and ranked 92nd out of 146 countries.
This value increased by 0.009 from 0.688 in 2021. Last year, Indonesia was still ranked 101st.
Breaking down the index components, Indonesia's score is burdened by a very low index of women's empowerment in politics, namely 0.169, below the global average.
Then, in the area of economic participation and opportunity, Indonesia's score is 0.674, which is around the global average.
Meanwhile, in the areas of education and health, Indonesia received a high score of 0.97, but still within the global average range.
