Pakistan has been ranked as the world's second worst country for women, according to a study.

Meanwhile, Yemen has been ranked the world's worst country for women to live in.

According to 24/7 Wall St., a recent report from the World Economic Forum (WEF) revealed that not one country in the world has successfully eliminated its gender gap.

The WEF's 2014 Global Gender Gap Report came to the conclusion after measuring economic and social disparities between men and women in around 142 countries.

The report said that in the worst-scoring nations, economic and educational opportunities, as well as political representation and health outcomes, were far worse for women than for men.

Following are the world's 10 worst countries for women:
