What "Gap" narrows? ( I'll need to read more than the headlines, I know ) All Gaps are different. Is it a gaping gap or a small gap?

I have been thinking about some of the places that rank high on the list. It seems to me that in some of the places most oppressed by rampant poverty, the women's incomes are vital to he survival of the family unit, and often enough the only income the family has.

Moronic headline from the BBC, for some reason they are intent on turning into The Stun :confused:

Yes. Perhaps they need to invert the list and discuss the worst places to be a woman.

I don't see a mass migration of women from New York, London, Paris and Rome to Reykjavik.

I am not surprised about India's position on this .... and i find it really sad specially bcoz of the fact that m Indian ... But one section is rather incorrect that it is great to be a woman in India for Politics .... Politics is a very complicated field in India ... you need a godfather no matter the gender ....
moreover we dont have any HOTT Indian women politicians unlike australia or italy ... lols

I can't seem to find the entire list, but the top ten is hardly dominated by countries that struggle with poverty? Are you referring to Nicaragua and the Philippines? Or to countries outside the top ten?

On another note, it's hardly a surprise that the social democratic structures of Northern European countries is a determining factor when it comes to a somewhat limited measurement of equality. Neither is it a surprise that The United States is lacking behind. As previously stated, these types of lists always paint the same picture. And I'm not completely sure of its relevance.
