  • The annual Gender Inequality Index (GII) is compiled annually as part of the United Nations’ Human Development Report.
  • As explained by the UN, the GII is “a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market.”
  • Lower scores are preferable. Higher scores indicate greater levels of inequality between women and men.
