| dc.description.notes | General Overview:The Global Gender Gap Index can be used to measure the degree of gender inequality in access to resources and opportunities in a country, independent of its level of development. The index is calculated based on a country’s performance in four different areas: economic participation and opportunity; educational attainment; political empowerment; and health and survival. This is the third annual report on the Global Gender Gap Index.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: The report is divided into two sections. Part 1 explains how the Global Gender Gap Index is measured and outlines global and regional trends. It ranks countries’ overall performance since 2006, as well as their 2008 performance on the four sub-indexes. It concludes with a discussion on the relationship between gender equality and economic development.<br/ ><br/ >Part 2 of the report contains individual profiles of the 130 countries included in the report. It presents the original data used to calculate the index, as well as other country-specific variables.<br/ ><br/ >In 2008, Australia had a score of 0.7241 on the Global Gender Gap Index (where 0 is inequality and 1 is equality) and was ranked 21 in the world. The report notes that Australia showed gains in economic participation, educational attainment and political empowerment between 2007 and 2008. | en |
