Money

2024

  

  

The money domain measures gender equality in access to financial resources. This domain consists of only one sub-domain – financial resources, which combines two indicators: (i) estimated gross national income per capita, and (ii) the percentage of the adult population having a financial institution account. Estimated gross national income (GNI) per capita for women and men is estimated based on purchasing power parity (PPP), which means that this measure is converted to international dollars (constant 2017) using purchasing power parity rates. GNI is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (fewer subsidies) not included in the valuation of output plus net receipts of primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad. The percentage of women and men (aged 15+) having financial institution accounts measures the share of women and men having checking accounts, saving accounts, money market accounts, time deposits (also known as Certificates of Deposit - CDs), and guardianship accounts. The gender equality index of the money domain is measured on a scale between 0 and 100 points, where 100 is the maximum and indicates the highest level of gender equality in the labour market.
