Methodology

To produce the global gender gap index, the World Economic Forum analyses more than a dozen datasets relating to economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, health and survival and political empowerment.

The rankings are compiled by calculating gender-based gaps in access to resources and opportunities within each country. This enables the index to compare rich and poor countries on an equal footing.

Data on the gender wage gap is from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The figure for each country is the latest available and ranges from 2010-13.

The OECD calculates the gender wage gap as the difference between median earnings of men and women relative to median earnings of men. The figures are calculated based on full time workers only.

Data on the proportion of university graduates that are female is from the Unesco Institute of Statistics.

Note: The data for the share of government ministers in Canada that are women was calculated before November's change of government.
