In an international rating of 145 countries on equal conditions for women and men, the Czech Republic ended up in the lower half, occupying the 81st position. Equal chances are in education only, and weak is the representation of women in politics and their position in the economy, according to the World Economic Forum Global Gender Gap Report 2015. The progress in comparison to the world is very slow. "The gap between women and men in the last ten years decreased by four percent," the report said. Erasing all the distinctions would take 118 years at the current pace.
