Gender Inequality Index by Country 2024

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.
