That’s the conclusion of a new study on the Global Gender Gap from the World Economic Forum. If things continue at their current rate, it’ll take another 170 years to reach gender equity, the authors say. But one bright spot: Based on current trends, the education-specific gender gap could be reduced to parity within the next 10 years. And in some regions of the world, the gender gap is narrowing much faster. South Asia could close its gender gap in 46 years, Europe in 61 years and Latin America in 72 years.
