Gender Inequities in Germany and Ethiopia

The Gender Gap Index

• The GGI is an example of an index that we chose because it has the best data available and not because it is the best measure. The Gender Inequality Index is considered to be a better measure as it is less focused on economic factors and has a improved calculation method
