HDI measures human development by combining three dimensions (indicators in brackets): 1. Health (Life expectancy at birth) 2. Education (Mean years of schooling and expected years of schooling) 3. Living standards (GNI per capita (PPP US$)) GII captures the loss of achievement due to gender inequality using three dimensions (indicators in brackets): 1. Reproductive health (adolescent fertility, maternal mortality) 2. Empowerment (educational attainment, secondary level and above, parliamentary representation) 3. Labor market (labor force participation)

GGI measures a country’s gender gap by calculating a general score from weighted data from the four fields of Economy, Education, Health and Politics. 0 indicates complete inequality, 1 complete equality.
