| 2013-10-26 |
| [Dawn] Pakistain ranks as the world's second-worst country in terms of gender equality and equitable division of resources and opportunities among men and women, says a report published Friday. The Global Gender Gap Report 2013, published by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with faculty at Harvard University ...home of the Best and the Brightest, contributed $878,164 to the 2008 Obama campaign. Is there a reason universities are among the top financiers of political campaigns? and the University of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Berkeley, assesses 136 countries, representing more than 93 per cent of the world's population, on how well resources and opportunities are divided among male and female populations. According to the index, Iceland tops the list with the most equitable sharing of resources among the sexes, followed closely by north European countries such as Finland, Norway and Sweden. Pakistain comes down at 135, followed only by Yemen, and its score has fallen three spots since the study was conducted last year. |
