Glass-ceiling index for women in the workforce

...study by The Economist.com
Weighted values can be adjusted but overall, based on role of women in the workforce vs men, wage-gap, education:

  • Top/best countries are Iceland, Norway and Finland
  • The bottom/worst are Japan, Turkey and South Korea 

Also, studies show that where new fathers take parental leave, mothers tend to return to the labour market, female employment is higher and the earnings gap between men and women is lower. Each country’s score is a weighted average of its performance on ten indicators - from the Economist.com
