The Gender Equality Index is a composite indicator that provides a measure – across Member States and over time – of the complex concept of gender equality. It measures gender gaps within a range of areas relevant to the EU policy framework (work, money, knowledge, time, power, health, violence and intersecting inequalities), where the selection of domains is guided by a conceptual frame-work. The Gender Equality Index is formed by combining these gender indicators into a single summary measure. As such, the Gender Equality Index is a sophisticated tool that synthesises this complexity into a user-friendly and easily interpretable measure.
