Sigh. YOU and the headline focused on “Women Hold Just One Percent Of The World’s Wealth: World Bank”. So I did too. I looked through the report hunting for the statistical basis for THAT statistic. Couldn't find it. Can you? If not, then the headline, not the article, was indeed "vastly misleading". And the report itself was interesting. A very complex subject. Too bad someone tried to reduce it to an attention-grabbing soundbite of a headline.
