Glass Ceiling Needs More Chinks; US is ranked 27th in Global Gender Gap Report


Women Gain in Education not Power



US ranked 27th in ranking of sexes in world



Glass Ceiling Still Needs Breaking




A Reuters article in the November 13th New York Times reports that "Women Gain in Education but Not Power, Study Finds." In its Global Gender Gap report, Norway, Finland and Sweden are ranked the top three, while United States ranked 27th after Germany 11, Britain, 13, France 15 ,and Cuba 25. Saudi Arabia, Chad and Yemen were at the bottom.


The report concludes: "A nation's competitiveness depends significantly on whether and how it educates and utilizes its female talen. To maximize its competiveness and development potential, each country should strive for gender equality."


Maybe we need a few more million chinks in that proverbial glass ceiling.
