How is the GDI calculated?

The Gender Development Index (GDI) is calculated by taking into account three key dimensions: health, education, and income. It measures gender inequalities in these areas and provides a composite index to assess the overall gender development gap. The GDI is calculated by dividing the female value of each dimension by the male value and multiplying it by 100. The resulting index ranges from 0 to 1, with 1 indicating gender equality.
