The World Economic Forum is a high profile organization – which does publish many interesting and well researched reports. The result of the Gender Gap Report 2007 is hardly surprising – it’s rather very predictable.

Woman in Nordic and European countries have the best chances to find good jobs and being treated like their male counterparts. From there it’s all downhill.

128 countries from all regions of the globe have been ranked. You would think that all western countries would rank at least in the top 50% – but even countries like Switzerland (Rank 40) and the USA (Rank 31) have lost ranks – or better say – woman lost social and economic status.

I find Japans Rank with 91 especially shameful, since it is in the company with such illustrious nations like Iran, Kuwait and Tunisia.
