全球性别差距报告出炉

Japan ranks 121st out of 153 countries on the global rankings for gender equality, falling 11 places since the last audit, marking its lowest level on record, according to the Global Gender Gap Report 2020 released on Tuesday by the World Economic Forum, or WEF.

世界经济论坛17日发布的《全球性别差距报告2020》显示，在153个国家中，日本排在第121位，较上一次的排名下降11个位次，创下历史最低排名。

Based on data in four key areas - politics, economics, education and health - the WEF analyzes gender gaps on a regular basis and said it would take 100 years to close the global gender gap because so little progress had been made in tackling the problem.

世界经济论坛基于政治、经济、教育和健康四个关键领域的数据，定期分析各国性别差距，该机构表示，由于目前全球在解决性别差距这一问题上进展缓慢，完全实现男女平等还要100年时间。

In this year's report, Iceland is ranked as the nation closest to achieving gender parity, followed by Norway, Finland and Sweden.

本次报告中，冰岛排名第一，是最接近达到性别平等的国家，其次是挪威、芬兰和瑞典。

China ranked 106th, down three places on the list, with a low representation of women in politics and corporate management to blame, the report said.

报告称，中国排在第106位，较上一次的排名下降三个位次，原因是女性在政界和企业管理层的比例偏低。

But the report gave China credit for having virtually closed the educational gender gap, with both sexes achieving universal literacy.

但报告称赞中国基本解决了教育层面的性别差距，男女均实现了普及教育。
