The Global Gender Gap Report was first published in 2006 by the World Economic Forum. The 2014 report covers 144 major and emerging economies. The Global Gender Gap Index is an index designed to measure gender equality. == Methodology == The report’s Gender Gap Index ranks countries according to their gender gaps, and their scores can be interpreted as the percentage of the equality between women and men that has been closed. Information about gender imbalances to the advantage of women is explicitly prevented from affecting the score. The three highest ranking countries have closed over 84% of their gender gaps, while the lowest ranking country has closed only a little over 50% of its gender gap. It "assesses countries on how well they are dividing their resources and opportunities among their male and female populations, regardless of the overall levels of these resources and opportunities," the Report says.〔2008 Report, p. 24〕 "By providing a comprehensible framework for assessing and comparing global gender gaps and by revealing those countries that are role models in dividing these resources equitably between women and men, the Report serves as a catalyst for greater awareness as well as greater exchange between policymakers."〔2008 Report, p. 24〕 The report examines four critical areas of inequality between men and women in 130 economies around the globe, over 93% of the world’s population: * Economic participation and opportunity – outcomes on salaries, participation levels and access to high-skilled employment * Educational attainment – outcomes on access to basic and higher level education * Political empowerment – outcomes on representation in decision-making structures * Health and survival – outcomes on life expectancy and sex ratio. In this case parity is not assumed, there are assumed to be less female births than male (944 female for every 1,000 males), and men are assumed to die younger. Provided that women live at least six percent longer than men parity is assumed, if it is less than six percent it counts as a gender gap.〔2014 report, page 5〕 Thirteen out of the fourteen variables used to create the index are from publicly available "hard data" indicators from international organizations, such as the International Labour Organization, the United Nations Development Programme and the World Health Organization.〔2008 Report, p. 5〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Global Gender Gap Report」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
