class="ApartCont"> <p>The Gender Equality Index is a composite indicator that measures the distance a society has to go to achieve full equality among women and men.</p> <p>This indicator's objective is to reflect the reality of gender equality in important aspects of welfare and people's development.</p> <p>Idescat produces the IIG for Catalonia in accordance with the methodology established by the European Institute for Gender Equality (<a href="https://eige.europa.eu/" target="_blank" class="extern" rel="noopener" title="External link: a new window will open">EIGE</a>).</p> <p>The Index is based on 31 indicators, structured in a hierarchical manner in 6 domains, which are then divided into 14 sub-domains. The results offered are of 4 types:</p> <ol> <li>The <strong>Gender Equality Index</strong> (maximum aggregation level).</li> <li>The Index for each of the <strong>6 domains</strong> of the analysis: work, money, knowledge, time, power and health.</li> <li>The Index for each of the <strong>14 sub-domains</strong> in which the 6 aforementioned domains are broken down.</li> <li><strong>31 basic indicators</strong>, which are the basis for calculating the previous levels.</li> </ol> <p>The results of the Gender Equality Index and its component parts (domains and sub-domains) are presented on a dimensionless scale, in an interval that goes from 1 to 100, where 1 means total inequality and 100 means total equality.</p> <p>The results of the 31 basic indicators are shown by the total population, disaggregated by gender, and by the absolute difference between women and men. Each indicator has its own metric.</p> <p>The results of the indices for Catalonia are disseminated for the years 2005, 2010, 2012, 2015 and annually since 2017, in accordance with the periodicity used by the European Institute for Gender Equality to disseminate the results of the European Union and its member states.</p> </div> </div><div class="scroll"> <table class="ApartNum xs Cols4">
