The situation of women around the world is gaining prominence in national and international policy debates. The last half-century has seen major gains in women's health, education, and rights, but progress has been slow or uneven in many areas. Disparities between men and women are still pronounced in the poorest regions and countries of the world. This data sheet presents indicators of women's status and progress in nearly 180 countries, with a focus on demography, reproductive health, education, work, and public life.
