The Global Gender Gap Report 2014 benchmarks national gender gaps of 142 countries on economic, political, education- and health-based criteria. Politcal Empowerment Rank measures the number of females with seats in parliament, the number of females at the ministerial level and the number of years a country has had a female head of state in the last 50 years.
