Question

which of the following might you use? (1 point)
Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
Consumer Price Index (CPI)
GINI coefficient
Gender Development Index (GDI)

Answer 1

To measure gender differences in terms of wealth, health, and education, you would use the Gender Development Index (GDI). The GDI specifically accounts for gender disparities in these areas, making it a suitable choice for your objective.

The other options serve different purposes:

• Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures overall economic activity but does not account for gender disparities.
• Consumer Price Index (CPI) tracks changes in the price level of a basket of consumer goods and services, not gender differences.
• GINI coefficient measures income inequality but does not specifically focus on gender differences.
