NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Nearly 2 billion of the world's women are struggling or suffering in their daily lives, while 620 million describe themselves as thriving, according to a Gallup poll released on Wednesday.

Based on interviews conducted with women and men in 160 countries in 2013, the survey found that 61 percent of women globally were struggling, 26 percent thriving and 13 percent suffering - numbers that have remained virtually the same since Gallup began doing the Life Evaluation Index in 2006.
