another popular and widely reported global gender gap index is the global gender gap index, published in the global gender gap report. this measure was introduced by the world economic forum in 2006 and has been published yearly since. the index is based on the level of female disadvantage (so it is not strictly a measure of equality), and is intended to allow comparative comparison of gender gap across different countries and years. increased scores over time can be interpreted as the percentage of the inequality between women and men that has been closed. the report examines four critical areas of inequality between men and women in approximately 130 economies around the globe, focusing on economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, political empowerment and health and survival statistics.

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.
