Global Gender Gap Index

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to find the most important factors to the Index that explains gender gaps in education, health, politics, and economic outcomes worldwide. Design/methodology/approach World Economic Forum (WEF) data are analyzed using hedonic regression analysis to estimate which factors affect a country’s Global Gender Gap Index. Standardized β coefficients reveal the top five factors influencing the Index, just as key components of the US Consumer Price Index are teased out using this method. Findings Women in public sector management, administration, and politics explain a substantial portion of gender inequality. Policies to increase women’s representation in parliaments, as heads of state, in ministerial positions, and in public sector management mitigate inequality as gauged by the Gender Gap Index. Economic indicators are also among the leading components of the Gender Gap Index. Research limitations/implications Although comprehensive and drawn from several sources including the World Health Organization, the International Labour Organization, and the United Nations Development Programme, WEF data do not capture the full experience of women worldwide. Subsequent qualitative research is recommended. Practical implications This analysis reveals policy recommendations for advocates working to close gender gaps, particularly in politics and economic outcomes. Increasing proportions of women in public sector management can mitigate inequality. This supports electoral quotas and human resource management initiatives to diversify management ranks. Social implications Increasing women’s share of public sector managerial positions fosters gender equity, as does increasing women’s share of elected and appointed positions. Originality/value This study provides quantitative evidence of the important role of women’s representation to guide subsequent fieldwork. This evidence supports efforts to increase women in elective office and public sector management.

Global Gender Gap Index

This paper explores the Romanian women influence as political leader over the Romanian economy. The whole research is based on global gender gap index for Romania analyzed on 2013-2018 period. The data was integrated in a linear regression model. The model interpretation findings show that reducing gender gap in Romania could bring an increase on Romanian GDP.  The paper states that this situation is due to a higher emotional intelligence of Romanian women as leaders. They are also characterized by perseverance and conscience. In 2017 Romania made important progress in reducing this gap, but it seems that the world political dimension gap could be closed within 99 years.

Global Gender Gap Index

<p>There are two problems that often emerge in public discussions about the recent trends in the level of participation of the female labor force in Indonesia. The first is the low Indonesian female labour force partipation rate (FLFPR) compared to other ASEAN countries. The second is the trend of stagnation of Indonesian FLFPR—at around 51%—over almost three decades. By reviewing cross-country data from the Global Gender Gap Index and the International Labor Organization, this article rests on the argument that the two features of Indonesian FLFPR are not merely bad news, and should be read in the context of large economic growth and social change in Indonesia. But a more critical and thorough interpretation of the trend of this indicator does not deny the fact that there is still wide room to improve women's economic participation and opportunity in Indonesia.</p><p> </p>

Absract In this paper, we contribute to a growing literature in the philosophy of social science cautioning social scientists against context-independent claims to objectivity, by analyzing the recent proposal of a new Basic Index of Gender Inequality (BIGI) by Gijsbert Stoet and David Geary. Despite the many internal problems with BIGI, Stoet and Geary have had some success in positioning the index as an important corrective to the way in which gender inequality is measured in mainstream metrics like the Global Gender Gap Index (GGGI). We argue that this success is facilitated at least in part by the failure of GGGI’s proponents to adequately justify the methodological choices underpinning the index in relation to the context in which the index’s findings are intended to be used. In so doing, the authors of GGGI oversell the objectivity of the metric’s assessment of the state of global gender inequality—and it is this overselling that allows Stoet and Geary to present BIGI as a metric that corrects what they claim are systematic biases within GGGI. The case of BIGI and GGGI, we argue, suggests that the kind of epistemic modesty exhibited by recent operational approaches to objectivity is particularly important for social research on highly politically contested topics.

Global Gender Gap Index

Abstract: Gender equality is one of the goals in the Sustainable Development Goals. However, until now Indonesia is still having difficulties in achieving this goal. According to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) data, Indonesia's Gender Inequality Index (GII) is ranked 107 out of 189 countries. In addition, according to The Global Gender Gap Index 2021 data by the World Economic Forum (WEF), Indonesia is ranked 105th out of 153 countries. This shows that Indonesia is still lagging behind in terms of gender equality. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the sentiments of Indonesian twitter netizens regarding gender equality in 2018-2021 and its accuracy. Data was collected from primary data, scraping twitter data with the keywords #kesetaraan and #gender in Indonesian. The method used is Lexicon-based Sentiment Analysis with AFINN-111 dictionary translated into Indonesian. The results obtained are that the percentage of positive sentiments tends to decrease from year to year except for 2021. On the contrary, the negative sentiments of Twitter tend to increase. This is due to controversial articles in RKUHP, RUU Cipta Kerja, Covid-19 pandemic, and the online gender-based violence. This shows that the gender equality in Indonesia is still minimal and needs to be improved. Keywords: AFINN-111, gender equality, lexicon-based sentiment analysis, text mining, twitter Abstrak: Kesetaraan gender termasuk tujuan pada Sustainable Development Goals. Namun hingga saat ini Indonesia masih kesulitan dalam mencapai tujuan tersebut. Menurut data United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), nilai Gender Inequality Index (GII) Indonesia menempati peringkat 107 dari 189 negara. Selain itu, menurut data The Global Gender Gap Index 2021 dari World Economic Forum (WEF), Indonesia menempati posisi ke-105 dari total 153 negara. Hal ini membuktikan gender di Indonesia masih belum setara. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sentiment netizen twitter Indonesia mengenai kesetaraan gender pada 2018-202i dan akurasinya. Data dikumpulkan dari data primer yaitu scraping data twitter dengan keyword #kesetaraangender dan #gender dalam Bahasa Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan adalah Lexicon-based Sentiment Analysis dengan bantuan kamus AFINN-111 yang diterjemahkan dalam Bahasa Indonesia pada software python. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah persentase sentimen positif netizen twitter cenderung menurun dari tahun ke tahun kecuali 2021, sebaliknya sentimen negatif netizen twitter cenderung meningkat setiap tahun. Hal ini dikarenakan adanya pasal yang mengandung kontroversi pada Rancangan Kitab Undang-undang Hukum Pidana (RKUHP), RUU Cipta Kerja, adanya pandemi Covid-19, dan maraknya kekerasan berbasis gender online. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kesetaraan gender di Indonesia masih minim dan perlu untuk ditingkatkan kedepannya. Kata kunci: AFINN-111, kesetaraan gender, lexicon-based sentiment analysis, text mining, twitter
