Global Gender Gap Index

The Global Gender Gap Index (by World Economic Forum)  benchmarks the evolution of gender-based gaps among four key dimensions. The following information are visualized for each country: Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment.

The Global Gender Gap index benchmarks 156 countries, providing a tool for cross-country comparison and to prioritize the most effective policies needed to close gender gaps. The methodology of the index has remained stable since its original conception in 2006, providing a basis for robust cross-country and time-series analysis. The Global Gender Gap Index measures scores on a 0 to 100 scale and scores can be interpreted as the distance to parity (i.e. the percentage of the gender gap that has been closed).

This dataset includes indicators from 2006 to 2021.
