Hillary Clinton, Women in the World Summit Misleading Statistics
Hillary Clinton spoke at the Women in the World Summit, citing statistics from The Economist regarding the "glass ceiling index" and American women's life expectancy. Critics argue her data is misleading, noting that while U.S. life expectancy has flattened due to healthcare and food supply issues, women still outlive men by five years. The ranking system used for the glass ceiling index is also questioned for its methodology regarding labor participation.
