Previous Year Question
Which among the following is not a parameter for estimating Global Gender Gap Index of World Economic Forum?
A.
Health
B.
Education
C.
Economy
D.
Leisure
Correct Answer: D
Detailed Solution
The Global Gender Gap Index measures gender gaps between women and men across four major dimensions—
Economic Participation and Opportunity
Educational Attainment
Health and Survival
Political Empowerment
Thus, among the options given in the question, Health, Education and Economy correspond to major dimensions of the Index.
Leisure is not a separate parameter or sub-index of the Global Gender Gap Index.
Rather than measuring the overall development level of a country or the absolute achievements of women, the Index primarily measures relative gender gaps between women and men.
