Analysis of the EU's Gender Equality Index

The EU set up its Gender Equality Index in 2010, and published its result in 2013. The index is based on EU's gender equality theory, its basic treaty, and policy on gender equality and the UN's gender equality index. The EU's index consists of eight domains: Work, Money, Knowledge, Time, Power, Health, Intersecting Inequalities and Violence. It reflects the principles of the UN's gender mainstreaming, EU justice and equality, and is based on subtle statistical analysis rather than being over-simplified.
