Gender Development Index Calculator
Ratio of independently computed matched female/male HDIcomponents under one verified edition. Census categories do not infer individual gender or equal opportunities.
Description
Gender development compares independently computed female and male HDI values.
Gender development compares independently computed female and male HDI values.1
Their population definitions and component methodology must match before taking the ratio.
When to use Gender Development Index Calculator
Use this tool to obtain conditionalGdi from the supplied records using the stated calculation. Establish the population, period, variable definitions, sample coverage and independently applicable instrument or calibration.
How to use Gender Development Index Calculator and understand its results
- Establish the population, period, variable definitions, sample coverage and independently applicable instrument or calibration.
- Enter independentlyComputedFemaleHdi, independentlyComputedMaleHdi, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read result.conditionalGdi. Use the units and sign conventions below, and review any unknown records separately.
- Correct any reported input issue and run again. Before using a successful result, check the stated units, signs, reference scope and observation coverage.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| independentlyComputedFemaleHdi | Independently computed female hdi | number | Required |
| independentlyComputedMaleHdi | Independently computed male hdi | number | Required |
Require female HDI in [0,1] and male HDI in (0,1]. Divide female by male, returning a ratio that can exceed one. No HDI component calculation or gender-data lookup is performed.
GDI=femaleHdi/maleHdi Use the matching field units and the exact boundary, ordering and reference rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Calculated observation or qualified reference | object |
| result.conditionalGdi | Independently calculated female HDI divided by independently calculated male HDI. | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
Population definitions, survey design, calibration and observation coverage are independently established. A result describes the supplied record or conditional model without demonstrating causation, validating an instrument or supplying representative population evidence.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types and violated rules return input issues. Numeric values and outputs must be finite. Extremely large composite outputs are rejected.
