How long will it take to achieve global gender parity? At the current pace: 123 years.
In this episode of The Briefing Room, leaders from the World Economic Forum, LinkedIn and the World Bank come together to explore the findings from the Global Gender Gap Report 2025 — the definitive benchmark tracking gender equality across 148 economies.
Hosted by Stephanie Holmes, Head of Public Engagement at the Forum, the discussion features Saadia Zahidi, Managing Director at the World Economic Forum; Sue Duke, Head of Global Public Policy at LinkedIn; and Norman Loayza, Director of the Global Indicators Group at the World Bank.
The conversation examines this year’s parity score and why, despite some progress, the world remains generations away from full gender equality. It explores the persistent gaps in women’s political and economic participation, the role of smart policy over national wealth in driving change, and the growing economic imperative to accelerate progress. The panel also reflects on what countries can learn from one another and how gender parity is becoming central to long-term growth and resilience.
