What are the sources of data used for calculating the Gender Inequality Index?
The Gender Inequality Index relies on data from major publicly available databases, including maternal mortality ratio from UNICEF’s The State of the World’s Children, adolescent fertility rates from the UN Department of Economic and Social Affair’s World Population Prospects, educational attainment statistics from Barro-Lee data sets, parliamentary representation from the International Parliamentary Union, and labour market participation from the International Labour Organization’s LABORSTA database.
