Taiwan ranks 2nd in Asia in gender empowerment

2007-12-24 The China Post

TAIPEI, Taiwan—Taiwan ranks second in Asia and 19th in the world, according to the gender empowerment measure (GEM), officials from the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) said yesterday.

DGBAS officials quoted the latest United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) report as showing that in 2005, Norway, Sweden and Finland had the world’s top three GEM indices, indicating that females in these countries have more opportunities to take part in formulating political and economic policies than their counterparts in the rest of the world.

In terms of GEM, Taiwan ranks high on the list in the 19th position, well ahead of Japan’s ranking of 55th and South Korea’s 65th. In Asia, only Singapore has a higher ranking than Taiwan, placing 16th in the world, DGBAS officials said.
