Gender Development Index

The Gender Development Index (GDI) measures how well countries promote gender equality in terms of health, education, and income. It compares women’s achievements to men’s within a country, highlighting disparities. A higher GDI indicates that women’s living standards are closer to men’s, reflecting greater gender equality. The index helps identify areas needing improvement and supports efforts to promote fairness and equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of gender.
