Gender Development Index (GDI)

WorldEconomic

The Gender Development Index (GDI) is an adjustment to the Human Development Index (HDI) score, which is a composite of life expectancy, education, and per-capita income indicators. The GDI adjusts the HDI for gender gaps in the HDI variables. Values approaching 1.0 indicate gender equality, values greater than 1.0 indicate higher development for women when compared to men, and values less than 1.0 indicate lower levels of development for women when compared to men.
