Economic Development Indices Questions
The Gender Inequality Index (GII) is calculated by taking into account three dimensions of gender inequality: reproductive health, empowerment, and economic activity. It combines indicators such as maternal mortality ratio, adolescent birth rate, share of parliamentary seats held by women, educational attainment, labor force participation rate, and income levels. These indicators are then normalized and combined to create a composite index, which ranges from 0 (no gender inequality) to 1 (maximum gender inequality).
