Data Description:

The Gender Development Index accounts for gender gaps in human development achievements by accounting for disparities between women and men in three basic dimensions of human development-health, knowledge and living standards. The index is based on calculations from the Human Development Index, which averages measures on (1) life expectancy, (2) educational attainment (i.e., mean years of schooling and expected years of schooling), and (3) income (i.e., gross national income per capita (PPP $US)). The Gender Development Index is the ratio of the Human Development Index scores calculated separately for females and males. Scores range from 0 (best) to 1 (worst).
