According to the Global Gender Gap Report 2023, published annually by the World Economic Forum, Serbia ranked 38th out of the 146 countries surveyed, which is a relatively good result. However, there are a few points to consider. First, this result indicates a drop of 15 places compared to the previous year, and a decrease of 19 places compared to 2021. Second, Serbia performs relatively poorly in some of the sub-indexes that contribute to the overall ranking.
The Global Gender Gap Index benchmarks the current state and progress of gender parity across four key dimensions: Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment. Importantly, the report doesn’t assess the overall levels of these outcomes, but rather the disparity between genders.
