World Economic Forum Releases 2009 Global Gender Gap Index, co-authored by CID Director Ricardo Hausmann

"Out of the 115 countries covered in the report since 2006, more than two-thirds have posted gains in overall index scores, indicating that the world in general has made progress towards equality between men and women, although there are countries that continue to lose ground. We have included a section on the dynamics of the gender gap and found that progress is achieved when countries find ways to make marriage and motherhood compatible with the economic participation of women," said co-author Ricardo Hausmann, Director of the Center for International Development at Harvard University.
