Gender inequalities

Human Development Index (HDI): countries where the HDI is below 0.6. Pixels with a value lower than the specified threshold (0.6) were given a value of 1 (YES response) The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and a decent standard of living. The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of the three dimensions. The health dimension is assessed by life expectancy at birth, the education dimension is measured by the mean of years of schooling for adults aged 25 years and more and expected years of schooling for children of school entering age. The standard of living dimension is measured by gross national income per capita. The HDI uses the logarithm of income, to reflect the diminishing importance of income with increasing Gross National Income (GNI). The scores for the three HDI dimension indices are then aggregated into a composite index using geometric mean. The HDI simplifies and captures only part of what human development entails. It does not reflect inequalities, poverty, human security, empowerment, etc. .

Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI): countries where the MPI is below 0.6. Pixels with a value lower than the specified threshold (0.6) were given a value of 1 (YES response) The 2020 Global MPI data and publication "Charting pathways out of multidimensional poverty: Achieving the SDGs" released on 16 July 2020 by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at the University of Oxford and the Human Development Report Office of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The global MPI measures the complexities of poor people’s lives, individually and collectively, each year. This report focuses on how multidimensional poverty has declined. It provides a comprehensive picture of global trends in multidimensional poverty, covering 5 billion people. It probes patterns between and within countries and by indicator, showcasing different ways of making progress. Together with data on the $1.90 a day poverty rate, the trends monitor global poverty in different forms. **Data revision:** 2020-07-16 **Contact points:** Contact: [Admir Jahic](mailto:admir.jahic@undp.org) UNDP Metadata contact: [OCB Environment](mailto:OCB-Environment-List@fao.org) FAO-UN **Resource constraints:** license **Online resources:** Global Multidimensional Poverty Index Charting pathways out of multidimensional poverty: Achieving the SDGs

The human capital index plus (HCI+): overall score calculates the contributions of health, education, and on-the-job learning to worker productivity. The index measures the productivity of a child born today as a future worker relative to the benchmark of full health, complete education, and full employment in wage employment.

The Gender Equality Monitoring (GEM) platform offers open access to officially published data and periodically updated sex disaggregated data repository. It visualizes gender gaps at subnational level in various sectors such as education, health, employment, access to information, intra-household decision making, political participation, as well as gender inequality index (GII). These are starting points to further explore the causes and more complex dynamics of gender inequality. For more information, visit the ADPC Gender Equality Monitor.

Food insecurity: countries where the food insecurity prevalence is above 30%. Pixels with a value higher than the specified threshold (30%) were given a value of 1 (YES response) The percentage of people in the population who live in households classified as moderately or severely food insecure. A household is classified as moderately or severely food insecure when at least one adult in the household has reported to have been exposed, at times during the year, to low quality diets and might have been forced to also reduce the quantity of food they would normally eat because of a lack of money or other resources. **Data revision:** 2021-01-01 **Contact points:** Contact: [](mailto:data@worldbank.org) World Bank Metadata contact: [OCB Environment](mailto:OCB-Environment-List@fao.org) FAO-UN **Resource constraints:** More information on the data license at: https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/summary/ **Online resources:** World Bank data on Prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity in the population (%)
