Gender equality (inverted GII)

Tier A· Official

UNDP Gender Inequality Index — loss in human development from gender gaps in reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. Shown so 100 = most equal.

100 = most gender-equal (GII 0), 0 = most unequal (GII 1)

How this score is built

The UNDP Gender Inequality Index (GII) measures the loss in human development from inequality between women and men across three dimensions — reproductive health (maternal mortality, adolescent births), empowerment (parliamentary seats, secondary education) and the labour market (participation) — on a 0–1 scale where 0 = full equality and 1 = full inequality.

Direction is higher_worse (a higher GII is worse), so after native_rescale (0–1 → 0–100) and inversion, 100 = most gender-equal. The raw GII is shown. Most recent available year per country.
