Global Gender Gap Index

Abstract: Gender equality is one of the goals in the Sustainable Development Goals. However, until now Indonesia is still having difficulties in achieving this goal. According to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) data, Indonesia's Gender Inequality Index (GII) is ranked 107 out of 189 countries. In addition, according to The Global Gender Gap Index 2021 data by the World Economic Forum (WEF), Indonesia is ranked 105th out of 153 countries. This shows that Indonesia is still lagging behind in terms of gender equality. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the sentiments of Indonesian twitter netizens regarding gender equality in 2018-2021 and its accuracy. Data was collected from primary data, scraping twitter data with the keywords #kesetaraan and #gender in Indonesian. The method used is Lexicon-based Sentiment Analysis with AFINN-111 dictionary translated into Indonesian. The results obtained are that the percentage of positive sentiments tends to decrease from year to year except for 2021. On the contrary, the negative sentiments of Twitter tend to increase. This is due to controversial articles in RKUHP, RUU Cipta Kerja, Covid-19 pandemic, and the online gender-based violence. This shows that the gender equality in Indonesia is still minimal and needs to be improved. Keywords: AFINN-111, gender equality, lexicon-based sentiment analysis, text mining, twitter Abstrak: Kesetaraan gender termasuk tujuan pada Sustainable Development Goals. Namun hingga saat ini Indonesia masih kesulitan dalam mencapai tujuan tersebut. Menurut data United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), nilai Gender Inequality Index (GII) Indonesia menempati peringkat 107 dari 189 negara. Selain itu, menurut data The Global Gender Gap Index 2021 dari World Economic Forum (WEF), Indonesia menempati posisi ke-105 dari total 153 negara. Hal ini membuktikan gender di Indonesia masih belum setara. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sentiment netizen twitter Indonesia mengenai kesetaraan gender pada 2018-202i dan akurasinya. Data dikumpulkan dari data primer yaitu scraping data twitter dengan keyword #kesetaraangender dan #gender dalam Bahasa Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan adalah Lexicon-based Sentiment Analysis dengan bantuan kamus AFINN-111 yang diterjemahkan dalam Bahasa Indonesia pada software python. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah persentase sentimen positif netizen twitter cenderung menurun dari tahun ke tahun kecuali 2021, sebaliknya sentimen negatif netizen twitter cenderung meningkat setiap tahun. Hal ini dikarenakan adanya pasal yang mengandung kontroversi pada Rancangan Kitab Undang-undang Hukum Pidana (RKUHP), RUU Cipta Kerja, adanya pandemi Covid-19, dan maraknya kekerasan berbasis gender online. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kesetaraan gender di Indonesia masih minim dan perlu untuk ditingkatkan kedepannya.

Global Gender Gap Index

This paper examines the nature of female offending patterns in relationship to societal gender equality using cross-national analysis of 27 European countries for the year 2006. Importantly, our analysis uses a conceptually innovative indicator (the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Index) to determine relative levels of gender equality. Results show that countries with a narrower gender gap in the Global Gender Gap indexes of political empowerment were likely to have a higher female prosecution rate, and that political empowerment was also significantly associated with female conviction rates as well as rates of property offending. The pattern of results generally supports the liberation thesis. Finally, limitations and suggestions for future study are addressed.

The Impact

The article describes the situation of gender equality in Ukraine and in the world during the last 5 years, identifies the leading countries in moving towards gender equality in various fields of life by analyzing the indicators of the Global Gender Gap Report of the World Economic Forum. These indicators include: Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, Political Empowerment, which are the part of a single index that determines the position of countries in the overall ranking. Based on the results of this analysis, Ukraine has improved value of gender equality index, although in the overall ranking of countries Ukraine has lost its position and dropped 11 ranks lower than in 2014. This means that, among all the countries surveyed by the World Economic Forum, there are countries that are moving much faster towards gender equality than Ukraine. In addition, the article includes the investigation of the gender representation among the board members of 5 enterprises of Ukraine for 2014-2017, which represent the leading sectors of the Ukrainian economy. The dynamics of changes in the level of performance of these enterprises using the return on assets (ROA) indicator is analyzed, the relationship between the leadership of the enterprises and the value of the ROA indicator is graphically presented. The obtained results do not give a clear answer about the gender impact on the enterprise performance. The reason for this is a number of factors, such as: insufficient statistical sampling of enterprises; the selected performance indicator of enterprise activities does not fully reflect the impact of the gender factor on enterprise activities; the methodology used in the work needs improvements, or it is necessary to choose a totally new approach to the analysis of the investigated issue under study. Gender representation among board members and its impact on enterprise performance should be investigated further. Key words: gender, gender equality, enterprise board members, return on assets.

Gender discrimination has been persistent across globe and it is more identified in terms of wage differential. Such discrimination is more striking in developing countries and further more among social groups. Though many countries have passed minimum wage laws and laws mandating equal treatment of women at workplace, gender wage differential remains a perennial feature of labor markets across globe. Among BRIC nation India depicts highest wage discrimination between sexes (Rema Nagarajan TNN March 2011). This fact was reveled also in the Global Gender Gap Report of 2010 as well. The recent survey by the World Economic Forum (WEF) points out the Indian situation, ranking India among the bottom 10 countries in the world in terms of women’s participation in the economy. The World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2020 says Of the 153 countries studied in the report, India ranks 112th on the overall Global Gender Gap Index with the index value of (0.068). The overall gender gap as though has narrowed the pay gaps have widen and it will take 257 more years i.e by year 2257 pay equity will be established. India has shown disappointing performance in women work participation rate (WPR), pushing the country among the bottom 10 countries on the WEF list. The country ranks 149th among 153 countries in economic participation. Overall, in terms of gender equality India achieves a score of 59.4%, but in terms of economic participation and opportunity, it scores 39.8% which is dismal. The present study is an attempt to analyze the wage differential across selected states of India. The wages for agriculture and non agriculture workers for sexes is considered. The attempt has been made to evaluate wage differential across selected states of India and inequality therein has been calculated. The descriptive statistical tools like arithmetic mean and standard deviation has been used to ameliorate understanding. The pay parity Index has also been calculated The overall observation from the study widens understanding about pay pattern in India – and discriminating dimension therein. Across occupation unequal pay prevails in regards to sexes with males being paid more than women for the equal jobs.

<p>Indonesia has committed itself to the 2030 Agenda with 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which were approved by the United Nations on September 25, 2015. Seventeen objectives and 169 related targets must be achieved by 2030. Gender equality is an independent goal (SDG number 5), but gender related issues are also contained in the goal of poverty alleviation (SDG 1), health care including maternal and child health (SDG 3) and education (SDG 4). SDG number 16 concerns a commitment to peace, access to justice and strong institutions. Reliable and inclusive gender statistics are needed to monitor progress towards achieving gender equality and justice and to identify key gender inequalities that require policy interventions. Both quantitative and qualitative data are needed. In addition, certain problems are specific for women, such as maternal death. Given the wide diversity in gender relations and socio-economic conditions of the Indonesian archipelago subnational data are required. This article outlines the methodology of designing the APIK Gender Justice Index. The main findings are that the availability of sex-disaggregated data at the subnational level leaves much to be desired. The AGJI proves to be a reliable, comprehensive and flexible tool that can easily be used by policy makers and activists to design policies and programs to address gender-based discrimination in Indonesia, for instance in the field of health. The AGJI is based on locally available data. The advantages of the AGJI are that it can be computed with a minimum of cost and effort to achieve a maximum of reliability and ease in use. The GSI was found to be comparable with the Global Gender Gap Index (GGGI) for Indonesia but it is more sensitive to political empowerment. The AGJI assesses in how far women have been able to take up leadership positions at subnational levels, including at the village level and are represented in the major decision-making bodies such as the judiciary.</p>

India has one of the lowest female labor force participation rates in the world and a majority of women work in the informal sector. The World Economic Forum said that at the it will take India 108 years to close the overall gender gap and 202 years to bring equality in the workplace. Even though there are more women graduates, the number of those joining the corporate sector and rising to the top remains abysmally low. (Thakur, 2020). In the recent study by Credit Suisse Research Institute (CSRI)India Ranked 23 globally, India’s female representation on boards has increased by 4.3 percentage points over the past five years to 15.2% in 2019.Though female participation rate increased but it is significantly below the global average of 20.6% (Pathak ,2019). India is near the bottom of the rankings for female representation at senior management levels, only marginally better than Japan and South Korea. Accepting the fact that female participation is top position is very less in India from the above figures this paper aims to examine the women in the top position as well as threw a light on area or type of work in which women are engaged in select service sector in Pune city

América Latina es una de las regiones en el mundo con menores tasas de participación laboral femenina. Las mujeres no sólo están sub-representadas en el mercado laboral, sino que también reciben salarios (en promedio) por debajo de los de los hombres. De acuerdo al Global Gender Gap Report 2014 publicado por el World Economic Forum (GGGR), la región ha logrado reducir - en la mayoría de los países -de manera importante las brechas por género en salud, educación y empoderamiento político, pero las diferencias de género en el mercado laboral son aún grandes y persistentes en el tiempo.

Abstract This chapter explores barriers to women's land ownership. It investigates the potential factors behind why women's rights to own land are often ignored despite laws permitting women to own and inherit land. Measures of gender equality are correlated, as presented in the World Economic Forum Global Gender Gap Index 2020 (economic participation and equality, educational attainment, health and survival, and political empowerment) to percentages of land held by women in a nation. Commonalities between case studies on women's land ownership around the world are discussed as well.
