The World Economic Forum has released its Global Gender Gap Report 2025, which paints a bleak picture for gender parity in Argentina and globally. According to the report, at the current rate, the gender gap will not close for another 123 years. It emphasizes that gender parity is not just a moral obligation but a necessary growth strategy, stressing the urgency of addressing discrepancies in gender equity legislation.

Globally, the gender gap has narrowed to 68.8%, marking a minimal improvement of 0.3 points from the previous year. Despite these slight advancements, only ten countries have achieved a gender gap closure of 80% or more, with Iceland leading for the sixteenth consecutive year and being the only country to exceed the 90% mark. The report indicates that no Latin American country ranks within the top ten, reinforcing the persistent challenges faced in achieving gender equality in the region and underscoring a lack of effective policies in implementing gender equality measures.

The report further highlights a near-universal 'implementation gap' concerning gender equality legislation—a disconnect between the enactment of gender equality laws and their real-world application. This gap signifies that while many countries may have approved laws aimed at promoting gender equality, the effective enforcement and cultural integration of these laws remain lacking, calling for urgent action from governments and policymakers to ensure that gender equality is a tangible reality, not merely a legislative ideal.
