Relationship of Gender Gap, Competitiveness and Sustainability of Economy - Position of the Czech Republic in International Comparison

The article examines the relationships between selected gender and economic indicators of chosen countries (OECD countries, EU countries, associate members of OECD and high-income countries) and evaluates situation of the Czech Republic in international comparison. Gender indicator values for the Czech Republic were compared both within the time period (years 2006-2014) and with summary statistics for the EU countries. Further, based on four subindexes of the global gender gap index (GGI), similarity of the Czech Republic and other countries in time comparison were expressed. Multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis were applied for graphical expression of relationships of the high-income and EU countries. Positive correlation of indicators reflecting women participation in political and economic life was identifi ed in the OECD countries. Moreover, gender equality and the competitiveness, sustainability of economies and GDP per capita positively correlate in the group of these countries. Gender equality in the Czech Republic is very weak in an international comparison and demonstrates a deteriorating trend.
