Economic Development Indices Questions
The Gender Inequality Index (GII) is a measure that quantifies gender-based inequalities in three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment, and economic activity. It takes into account factors such as maternal mortality rates, adolescent birth rates, educational attainment, labor force participation, and representation in political and economic decision-making positions. The GII is used to assess and compare gender disparities across countries, with higher values indicating higher levels of gender inequality.
