Measuring Inequity: The 2012 Gender Equity Index

Measuring Inequity: The 2012 Gender EquityIndexThe Gender Equity Index (GEI) measures the gap between women and men in education, the economy and political empowerment.
Social Watch computes a value for the gender gap in each of the three areas in a scale from 0 (when for example no women is educated at all and all men are) to 100 (perfect equality). The GEI, in turn, is the simple average of the three dimensions. In Education, GEI looks at the gender gap in enrolment at all levels and in literacy; economic participation computes the gaps in income and employment and empowerment measures the gaps in highly qualified jobs, parliament and senior executive positions.
