The world is moving towards legal gender equality -- but it's moving very, very slowly. Only six countries currently give women and men equal rights, a major report from the World Bank has found.
But the rate of progress means that, by CNN calculations, women won't achieve full equality in the areas studied by the World Bank until 2073.
Belgium, Denmark, France, Latvia, Luxembourg and Sweden scored full marks of 100 in the bank's "Women, Business and the Law 2019" report.
The United States scored 83.75, placing it outside the global top 50. The United Kingdom achieved a score of 97.5, Germany measured at 91.88, and Australia scored 96.88.
"If women have equal opportunities to reach their full potential, the world would not only be fairer, it would be more prosperous as well," World Bank Group Interim President Kristalina Georgieva said.
"Change is happening, but not fast enough, and 2.7 billion women are still legally barred from having the same choice of jobs as men."
