How equal are you?

I have found an application in the BBC's internet pages that measure the level of equality there are in differents countries. They measure if the women can participate fully in the social life and enjoy the education or health services in the same way than men. You only have to type the name of any country arrow the world and then the programmes shows you how much disequality is this country and the role of the women in compared with men. The results are pulled out from the World Economic Forum (WEF) so I think it means that they are true. At the bottom of the page, they also explained to us how this institution has made the calculus.

Well, I have entertained myself trying to compare some countries:

The first country I've looked at has been ours. The predictions started with this sentence: "Your country is among the most gender equal in the world. It ranks 25/145" that it sounds quite well. In Spains for every 100€ that a man earn, a woman earns 91€. All we know that it may not be so because there is no reason why the fact of being women supposes to earn less than men. What I have found more astonish is that in comparison with other top equality countries, Spain is the one where there is a less difference between the salaries. For example, in Iceland, that is the top of the ranking, for every 100€ a man earns, a woman earns 86€, or in the United States, for every 100$ a man earns a woman earns 82. 

Your country is among the most gender equal in the world. It ranks 25/145

Another of the statistics that are shown in the program is the proportion between the number of university graduates that are men and the number that are women. What I have found surprising is this case is that in the majority of countries, there is more women graduate than men. Even in one of the worst countries that is Siria the number of women graduates are bigger that the number of men. In Spain, this percentage is about 68% of women graduate, in the UK is 57% and in Siria is 56%. 

Then we have the proportion of women and men looking for work and what is surprising this time is that there are always more men looking for work than women apart from some Africa countries like Malawi, Mozambique or Rwanda. In Spain the average is quite the same: 82% are women and the 87% are men. 

The next topic is about the number of senior officials, managers and legislators that they are female. What happened in this time is that in all countries men are those who occupy these positions apart from Colombia and the Philippines. The numbers are very different between "top countries" and the countries that there are in the bottom of the ranking. For example, in Spain women covering 31% of these jobs and in Siria only the 9%.

Something similar happens with the share of government ministers that are women. In all countries the number of men is always above the number of women. Maybe if they let women have the power things would go much better... In Spain the percentage of women in the government minister are 31%, in the UK is the 23%, in Iceland are the 37% and in Siria is only the 6%. 

Calculations said that if the rate of change continues in this way, we only can get equal society between men and man before 2133, to which, there is still too much time...

If the current rate of change continues, the economic gap between men and women will not close before

2133
