The Inequality-adjusted HDI defines the loss in human development, as measured by the HDI, due to inequality in distribution of health, education and standard of living across a population. The Gender Inequality Index measures the loss in human development due to inequality in reproductive health, empowerment and labour market between women and men. Losses in HDI and the Gender Inequality Index are highly correlated (0.87), indicating that unequal distribution of human development is strongly associated with gender inequality.
