How is the GWI calculated?

The GWI (Gender-related Development Index) is calculated by taking into account three key dimensions: health, education, and income. It measures the gender disparities in these areas by comparing the achievements of women and men. The GWI is calculated using a formula that combines the female and male values for each dimension, and then normalizes the result to a scale ranging from 0 to 1, with 1 indicating gender equality.
