Malaysia ranked 103 on Global Gender Gap Index 2022
KUALA LUMPUR (July 13): Malaysia has been ranked at number 103 on the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Global Gender Gap Index 2022, trailing Singapore (49), Thailand (79) and Indonesia (92).
吉隆坡（7 月 13 日）：马来西亚在世界经济论坛（WEF）的 2022 年全球性别差距指数中排名第 103 位，落后于新加坡（49）、泰国（79）和印度尼西亚（92）。
In the report released on 13th July 13, the WEF said that after a big Covid-19 hit, the gender gap had not bounced back.
在7 月 13 日发布的报告中，世界经济论坛表示，在 Covid-19 大流行之后，性别差距并没有反弹。
It said as the global economy enters its third year of continued disruption, it will take another 132 years (compared to 136 in 2021) to close the gender gap.
它表示，随着全球经济进入持续动荡的第三个年头，还需要 132 年（相比 2021 年的 136 年）来缩小性别差距。
The report suggests that of the 146 economies surveyed, just one in five has managed to close the gender gap by at least 1% in the past year.
报告显示，在接受调查的 146 个经济体中，只有五分之一的经济体在过去一年中将性别差距缩小了至少 1%。
It said as a result, while gains had been made in the past year, they had reduced the time it will take to reach gender parity by only four years.
结果，虽然在过去一年取得了进展，但他们将实现性别平等所需的时间仅缩短了四年。
The WEF said this progress does little to offset the setback of an entire generation recorded in 2020-2021 at the start of the pandemic.
世界经济论坛表示，这一进展几乎无法抵消大流行开始时在 2020-2021 年记录的整整一代人的挫折。
WEF managing director Saadia Zahidi said the cost of living crisis is impacting women disproportionately after the shock of labour market losses during the pandemic and continued inadequacy of care infrastructure.
世界经济论坛常务董事Saadia Zahidi表示，在大流行期间劳动力市场损失的冲击和护理基础设施持续不足之后，生活成本危机对女性的影响尤为严重。
“In the face of a weak recovery, government and business must make two sets of efforts — targeted policies to support women’s return to the workforce and women’s talent development in the industries of the future.
“面对复苏乏力，政府和企业必须做出两方面的努力——有针对性的政策支持女性重返劳动力市场和未来行业的女性人才发展。
“Otherwise, we risk eroding the gains of the last decades permanently and losing out on the future economic returns of diversity,” she said.
“否则，我们可能会永久性地侵蚀过去几十年的成果，并失去未来多样性带来的经济回报，”她说。
The Global Gender Gap Report benchmarks the evolution of gender-based gaps in four areas — economic participation and opportunities, educational attainment, health and survival, and political empowerment.
全球性别差距报告在四个领域对性别差距的演变进行了基准测试——经济参与和机会、教育程度、健康和生存以及政治赋权。
