This indicator reflects inequality based on the gender in three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and labour market. The Gender Inequality Index is built similiar to the Humand Development Index but shows differences between women and men better.
Coding rules
- Reproductive health is measured by maternal mortality rates and adolescent birth rates; empowerment by the proportion of adult females and males aged 25+ with some secondary education and proportion of parliamentary seats occupied of women and men; labour market by the labour force participation rate of both populations aged 15+.
