The WEF ranked nations on five criteria, including equal pay and access to jobs. Other factors were representation of women in decision-making structures, equal access to education and access to reproductive healthcare.

The WEF survey covered all 30 industrialised countries in the Paris-based Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), plus 28 emerging market countries.

Sweden has the smallest difference between the sexes, followed by Norway, Iceland, Denmark and Finland. Canada ranked 7th and USA 17th.
