The **Gender Inequality Index (GII)**, published by the UNDP, measures gender-based disparities. It focuses on three areas: reproductive health (MMR and TFR), empowerment (parliamentary representation and education), and economic activity (labor force participation).

The global literacy rate for people aged 15 and older is approximately **86.3%**. Despite this high average, significant disparities exist, particularly between developed and least developed countries and between genders.
