Dette er blant temaene organisasjonen Equal Measures 2030 har studert og som er omtalt av The Economist i artikkelen: "The world is a long way from meeting its gender-equality target". Equal Measures 2030 har tatt utgangspunkt i FNs bærekraftsmål og rangert 129 land etter hvor godt de gjør det på ulike bærekrafts-indikatorer, blant annet likestilling. Så har de koblet denne kunnskapen med data om hvor høy levestandarden er i ulike land. Ikke uventet er det slik at de nordiske landene er blant de som gjør det best på likestilling:
"On gender equality, the index shows that no country exceeds the 90-point threshold to be considered “excellent”, though Denmark, the top performer, comes close with a score of 89.3. It is closely followed by nearby Finland, Sweden, Norway and the Netherlands. Unsurprisingly, fragile and conflict-ridden states, such as Niger, Yemen and the Republic of Congo lag far behind. Chad, the lowest-ranked country on the list, scores just 33.4 points. The global average score of 65.7 is “poor”, according to the index’s scoring system. Just 8% of the world’s population of girls and women live in countries that received a “good” rating of 80-89 points."
Men ikke alle velstående land følger denne trenden like godt, men underpresterer sammenlignet med det man kunne forvente når det gjelder likestilling. The Economist skriver at:
"Overall, countries’ scores on the index seem to track national income levels. Notable exceptions are South Korea, Switzerland and the United States, which all have lower gender-equality scores than might be expected considering their wealth. In the United States, for example, this is caused by poor performance on indicators related to poverty and women’s participation in the economy"
