Economic Development Indices Questions
The Gender Development Index (GDI) is a measure used to assess gender disparities in a country's level of development. It takes into account three key dimensions: health, education, and income. The GDI compares the achievements of both males and females in these areas, providing an indication of gender equality or inequality in a country. It is calculated by dividing the female Human Development Index (HDI) by the male HDI and multiplying the result by 100. A GDI value of 1 indicates perfect gender equality, while a value below 1 signifies gender inequality.
