Index description

The Gender Development Index (GDI) tracks gender disparities in achievement across three fundamental areas of human development: health (measured by life expectancy at birth), education (measured by expected years of schooling for children and mean years of schooling for adults ages 25 and older), and control of economic resources (measured by estimated earned income for women and men).
