Gender and World Politics
How do we measure the status of women in any given
country?
Does women\u2019s status reflect the socio-
political situation of any given country?
Two good measures:
Gender \u2013Related Development Index (GDI)
And
Gender empowerment measure (GEM)
Both look at the how women fare in 146 countries
(ostensibly, not always data available)
GDI: composite indicator made up of 4 other indicators:
1. Female life expectancy at birth compared to male
2. Female adult literacy compared to male
3. Female school enrollment compared to male
4. Female estimated earned income compared to male
