Gender, Gender Equality, Gender Equality Index, EU Countries, TürkiyeAbstract
Many organisations conduct research on the concept of gender, which refers to the social dimension of the gender to which a
person belongs. However, it is not possible to say that there is a single method for measuring gender-based inequalities. The aim of the study is to explain the indices used in the field of gender equality in general terms and to evaluate the index values in the European Union (EU) countries and Türkiye in particular. Accordingly, the concepts of gender and gender equality are first explained in this study. Afterwards, the indices used in the field of gender equality were explained and the index values of EU countries and Türkiye were analyzed from the database of the organizations researching these indices. In this study, data from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Development Centre, World Economic Forum (WEF), European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) were used in the field of gender equality.
