[h=1]Interactive Heat Map: Gender Inequality in the World[/h]
Here is an interactive heat map showing gender inequality across the world based on each country’s Gender Inequality Index (GII), which according to the number of factors (e.g. maternal mortality rate, the number of seats women hold in government bodies, the labor force participation rate). The lower the GII number, the better gender equality in the country.
According to the map, we can see that gender equality in European countries are higher than countries in other areas as all the top ten are European countries, while the top three are the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark. We may be surprised that the U.S. ranks while Canada and U.K. ranks 18 and 34 respectively.
Women in Yemen, Afghanistan, Niger, Saudi Arabia, and Congo are living in the least gender equal society.
Map users can mouseover the countries to see the actual GII in the tooltips and see if you agree with the map. GII is just an index for giving us basic concept about the gender equality in various countries while realistic situation can be various depends on regions (rural areas and cities), how the media treats women, women status in family (e.g. role in parenting and marriage).
The Global Gender Gap Index presented in this report (called Gender Equality Score in the map and graphic here) covers the relative gaps between women and men across four key areas health, education, economy and politics.
The highest possible score for any country is 1 (equality) and the lowest possible score is 0 (inequality).
According to 2014 rankings, Iceland is ranked at the first position with a score of 0.86. India is ranked at 114th position with a score of 0.65.
Sorry could not post the map.
