The US lags at 22nd place behind developed and even a couple of developing countries in a study of inequality between men and women, mainly because it has few women in politics。
This is in spite of the ascent of Nancy Pelosi who is set to become the first woman to head the US House of Representatives。
Sweden is the only country where men and women form equal numbers among all ministers and parliamentarians。
Cherie Booth, a human rights barrister and wife of Tony Blair, UK prime minister, said there were more women in parliament in Iraq and Afghanistan – two countries not covered by the report – than in the UK。
The study of 115 countries published yesterday by the World Economic Forum, a Swiss-based think-tank, measures the gender gap based on economic, political, educational and health-based criteria in a benchmarking exercise aimed at improving women's position in society。
The individual country rankings show Sweden, Norway and Finland at the top of the league, having closed about 80 per cent of the gender gap, with Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Chad at the bottom, with a gender gap of about 50 per cent。
The Philippines is the only Asian and developing country in the top 10。 The US falls short of the top 20 but other economically-advanced countries are ranked lower。
France and Italy are ranked 70 and 77 respectively, while Japan takes 79th place。 The UK is in ninth place。
The index focuses on the relative extent of the gender gap regardless of a country's wealth – by assessing how well countries divide their opportunities and resources between men and women。
Although no country offers women equal treatment with men, countries have made big progress in education and healthcare for women, having closed 90 per cent of the gap with men in these areas。
一项针对男女不平等问题进行的研究表明，美国在男女平等方面排在全球第22位，不仅落后于发达国家，甚至落后于一些发展中国家。造成这一结果的主要原因是，参政的美国女性很少，即便南希•佩洛西(Nancy Pelosi)即将成为众议院首位女议长。
瑞典是唯一一个部长级官员和议员男女人数相等的国家。人权律师、英国首相托尼•布莱尔(Tony Blair)的妻子切瑞•布斯(Cherie Booth)表示，该报告没有包括伊拉克和阿富汗，其实，这两个国家国会中的女性比英国还多。
世界经济论坛(World Economic Forum)昨日发布的这项研究包括了115个国家，按照经济、政治、教育和健康方面的标准，对性别差异进行评估，旨在提高女性的社会地位。世界经济论坛是一个总部位于瑞士的智囊机构。
各国排名显示，排在前三位的瑞典、挪威和芬兰，消除了大约80%的性别差异，排在末位的也门、沙特和乍得存在大约50%的性别差异。
菲律宾是唯一进入前10名的亚洲国家，也是前10名中唯一的发展中国家。
美国未能进入前20名，但其它一些经济发达的国家排名更低。法国和意大利分别排名第70和77名，日本排在第79位。英国排名第9。
该指数关注于性别差异的相对程度，而不考虑国家的财富，主要评估一国在男女之间分配机遇与资源的平均程度。
尽管没有哪个国家向女性提供与男性完全相等的待遇，但各国在女性的教育和医疗卫生方面已经取得了巨大的进展，消除了这些领域90%的男女差异。收起
