This report highlights the urgent need for gender parity, emphasizing equal access to opportunities, fair wages, and workplace safety, ensuring no woman is left behind in India’s evolving economy. The latest report for 2024, published by the World Economic Forum (WEF), provides crucial insights into India’s standing in the Global Index. Unfortunately, the report reveals India has fallen two spots from the previous year, ranking 129th out of 146 countries surveyed. A significant concern highlighted in the report is the literacy rate among women. According to the 2011 census, only 63% of women in India are literate, a stark contrast to the male literacy rate, which is 80%. This disparity places India below the global literacy average of 83%, with the national literacy rate languishing at just 74%.
