GEI percentage variation by income group (2004-2007)
Income and equity are not directly related
Examining the variations in relation to income levels we find that low-income countries have not progressed. However, the differences between countries with high, middle and lower-middle incomes are not significant, which confirms that the relation between a country's income and gender equity is not direct.
