Global gender parity is going to take more than five generations to achieve, as women still lag far behind men in the economy and politics and surging inflation last year disproportionately hurt their financial health, findings by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and equality experts show.

Social unrest in Iran and the war in Ukraine - which exacerbated inflation as commodity prices soared - kept many girls and women out of school and work, it added.

Rising childcare costs outpacing income growth "is a significant barrier preventing women from getting into, remaining and progressing in the labour force", Gosai said. An index on women's financial health compiled by investment services firm Ellevest shows that women in the United States are in their worst financial shape since 2018.Top investors like Schroeder and Amundi have pledged to include investment picks based on how companies rank in terms of gender diversity, which could prove beneficial in the long run.

Gender parity? Well it is complicated by the fact that we don’t know if there are 2, 30, or limitless genders…🤡
