The World Economic Forum released their annual report on the gender gap, with Iceland coming in first place and Canada ranking 25th overall. The study ranks countries on particular issues, and then uses these to create an overall ranking. Consider: Canada came in 10th for female economic participation with only 22 percent (up one percent from last year) of Canadian MP’s being female, compared to Iceland’s 40 percent.

Despite the low ranking, Canada did climb up six spots from last year’s report, and interestingly, the US fell 4 spots. Before this year, Canada had been sliding down the rankings by a few spots per year. Hopefully this rebound isn’t temporary.
