Supplementary notes

Annual data are retrieved from different publications of the source.
Data exclude 2014, 2016, and 2020.

Figures have been rounded and therefore may differ slightly from the original figures.

The source explains that the Gender Inequality Index "shows the loss in potential human development due to disparity between female and male achievements in three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market.
The GII ranges between 0 and 1. Higher GII values indicate higher inequalities between women and men and thus higher loss to human development."
