Which of the following accurately represents India's trend in the Global Gender Gap Report 2025?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. India slipped in its global rank.
According to the Global Gender Gap Report 2025 released by the World Economic Forum (WEF), India ranked 131st out of 148 countries. This indicates that India slipped two positions from its 2024 rank of 129. While India showed slight improvements in "Educational Attainment" and "Economic Participation," a decline in Political Empowerment (reduced female representation in Parliament and ministerial roles) contributed to the lower ranking. India remains among the lower-ranked nations in South Asia, trailing behind Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal.
