Repost from UPSC Smart Study
The meeting of Indian and British political leaders during 1930-32 in London has often been referred to as the First, Second and Third Round Table Conferences. It would be incorrect to refer to them as such because:
(a) the Indian National Congress did not take part in two of them
(b) Indian parties other than the Indian National Congress, participating in the conference represented sectional interests and not the whole of India
(c) the British Labour Party had withdrawn from the conference thereby making the proceeding of the conference partisan
(d) It was an instance of a conference held in three session and not that of three separate conference

ā Global Gender Gap Index 2022:
ā¢ India ranks 135 among a total of 146 countries in the Global Gender Gap Index 2022 and is the worst performer in the world in the āhealth and survivalā sub-index where it is ranked 146.
ā¢ The Global Gender Report 2022, which includes the Gender Gap Index, says it will now take 132 years to reach gender parity, with the gap reducing only by four years since 2021 and the gender gap closed by 68.1%.
ā¢ India also ranks poorly among its neighbours and is behind Bangladesh (71), Nepal (96), Sri Lanka (110), Maldives (117) and Bhutan (126). Only Iran (143), Pakistan (145) and Afghanistan (146) perform worse than India in south Asia.
ā¢ In 2021, India ranked 140 out of a total 156 countries on the index.
ā¢ The Global Gender Gap Index benchmarks gender parity across four key dimensions or sub-indices ā Economic participation and opportunity, Educational attainment, Health and survival, and Political empowerment.
ā¢ It measures scores on a 0 to 100 scale, which can be interpreted as the distance covered towards parity or the percentage of the gender gap that has been closed.
ā¢ India ranks 146 in health and survival, 143 in economic participation and opportunity, 107 in educational attainment and 48th in political empowerment.
ā¢ The report notes that Indiaās score of 0.629 was its seventh-highest score in the last 16 years. India also ārecoveredā ground since 2021 in economic participation and opportunity though the report goes on to add that the labour force participation shrunk for both men (by -9.5 percentage points) and women (-3 percentage points).
ā¢ The gender parity score for estimated earned income improved because even though the values for both men and women diminished, the decline was more for men.
ā¢ India recorded a declining score on political empowerment due to the diminishing share of years women have served as head of state for the past 50 years, says the report.
ā¢ Although no country achieved full gender parity, the top 10 economies closed at least 80% of their gender gaps, with Iceland (90.8%) leading the global ranking.
