Gender inequality in Mexico

The Gender gap index for Mexico compared to other countries. Gender gap index is one of many multi-dimensional measures of gender inequality. Mexico was scored at 0.69 by World Economic Forum, and ranked 68 out of 136 countries in 2013.[1]

Gender inequality in Mexico refers to disparate freedoms in health, education, and economic and political abilities between men and women in Mexico.[2][1] It has been diminishing throughout history, but continues to persist in many forms including the disparity in women's political representation and participation, the gender pay gap, and high rates of domestic violence and femicide. As of 2022, the World Economic Forum ranks Mexico 31st in terms of gender equality out of 146 countries.[3] Structural gender inequality is relatively homogeneous between the Mexican states as there are very few regional differences in the inequalities present.[4]
