Least gender-equal countries in the world 2022

Published by S. Galan, Apr 15, 2025

According to the Gender Inequality Index (GII) 2022, Yemen was the least gender equal country in the world. The Gender Inequality Index measures inequality in achievement between women and men in three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment, and the labor market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men and vice versa. By comparison, Denmark was considered the most gender equal country worldwide that same year.

Supplementary notes

The GII is an inequality index. It measures gender inequalities in three important aspects of human development—reproductive health, measured by maternal mortality ratio and adolescent birth rates; empowerment, measured by proportion of parliamentary seats occupied by females and proportion of adult females and males aged 25 years and older with at least some secondary education; and economic status, expressed as labour market participation and measured by labour force participation rate of female and male populations aged 15 years and older
