Daily Current Affairs / UN Report Warns on Gender Gaps and Poverty
Category : Business and economics Published on: September 22 2025
The United Nations’ latest ‘Gender Snapshot report (2025)’ warns that closing gender gaps is crucial to reducing poverty, as over 351 million women and girls could remain in extreme poverty by 2030 if current trends continue. While global school enrolment now favors girls in many regions, inequalities persist in Africa and Asia. Women still spend 2.5 times more on unpaid care work, hold less than a third of parliamentary seats, and face longer periods of poor health despite falling maternal mortality. The report highlights that closing the digital divide could add $1.5 trillion to global GDP and lift 30 million women out of poverty by 2050, emphasizing urgent global action on gender equality.
