Though multiple indices are available on different aspects the
girls and women face but there is no comprehensive index
which covers the issues and different aspects that has an
influence on the life of girls and women; hence the concept of
developing GENDER VULNERBILITY INDEX has been floated.

Methodology - Steps
Plan’s Lifecycle Approach has
been utilised for establishing and
defining Vulnerability for girls and
women in India
Step 2: Finalising
the Dimensions
Step 1: Establishing a
Conceptual
Framework for
Gender Vulnerability
Out of 9 dimensions,
4 are finalized:
Protection, Health &
Survival, Education,
Poverty
170 indicators from different data sources
have been identified under four dimensions
Protection- 26 Health- 57
Education- 68 Poverty- 19
Data from 30 states (including Delhi)
considered for consolidation of data.
Step 3: Identifying the
Indicators and
consolidating the data
Positive and Negative
Indicators have been
normalized to bring the values
on a uniform scale
Standard global practice of
Yehulashet principal has been
used to normalise the values.
Index value is calculated using
Harmonic Mean across dimensions
and GVI.
The index scores can be measured
on a scale of 0 to 1. The closer the
score is to 1, the better is the
performance.
Formula for statistical ranks is used to
calculate Ranks.
The states are given a rank of 1 to 30.
1- best performance
30- worst performance
Plan India
Methodology
Step 1: Establishing a Conceptual Framework for Gender Vulnerability
Plan’s Lifecycle Approach has been utilised for establishing and defining Vulnerability for girls
and women in India as it incorporates native issues and challenges, which are relevant to the
local context and eliminate the static definitions of gender by covering major challenges faced
by girls and women across the lifecycle.
• Pre Birth Gender selection
• Survival
• Development
• Protection, Participation
• Inclusion
Before birth to age 1 year
• Female Feticide and
Infanticide
• Adverse health events
such as absence of or
incomplete immunization
• Discrimination in parental care
• Discrimination in access to food and health
care
• Low school enrolment and school drop-outs
• Restriction on play
• Vulnerable to trafficking, child labour, child
marriage
• Abuse, exploitation and violence
Age: 1 to 11 years
• Child marriage
• Early child bearing
• Frequent pregnancy and abortions
• Susceptibility to STDs and HIV/AIDS
• Maternal morbidity and mortality
• Marital and domestic violence
• Dowry harassment, desertion, polygamy,
divorce
• Limited access to information and services
• Lack of voice whether in home or society
Age: 12 to 18 years
• Frequent illness due to malnutrition and anemia and micronutrient deficiency
• Restriction on mobility
• Unpaid and unrecognized work and drudgery
• Domestic chores including heavy domestic work such as commuting long distances to collect firewood or drinking water
• Looking after younger siblings

Step 2: Finalising the Dimensions
At the initial phase of the deliberation, the following dimensions were identified

Vulnerability
The two key challenges faced during the process
were
1) Lack of data in many dimensions, or in other
words, insufficient indicators to develop a
composite index
2) The dimensions are strongly correlated as they
can’t be seen in isolation and need to be aligned
to one or the other dimensions.

Note: the data for Union Territories and few smaller states are not available; hence discarded from this list (Delhi is included)

Plan India
Step 3 : Remarks
Skewness of data: When the dimensions are to be decided the scenario few
dimensions have more indicators, this may tend to the skewness in the final
score of the index. This has taken care as the final score is an aggregate of the
four dimensions not all indicators together , the final score got equal
representation and hence the skewness towards a single dimension is negated
and invariably the limitations and void
Data from different sources and timelines : To reduce the same and made
the limitation void, the values for the indicators have been normalised. While
normalising standard yelchauset’s principal has been used.
Agency and Individual
Indicators related to agency and individual is considered in a single dimension
this may be questionable. The response to this is as this calculated at state
level and normalised scores has been applied the same will be negated, hence
forth the composite score will be taken when district level GVI is calculated.
12
Plan India
Step 4: Normalizing the values
Normalising the values to bring them on a uniform scale, as the data points are of different
time’s periods, sources.
Every Indicator is either a Positive indicator or a Negative Indicator. The normalisation is done
as per below
For Positive Indicators=
(where increase in the
value means performance
in the same area is good)
(Actual value – minimum value in the array)
maximum value in the array – minimum value in the array
For Negative Indicators=
(where decrease in the
value means performance
in the area is good)
(Maximum Value in the array – Actual Value )
maximum value in the array – minimum value in the array
Plan India
Methodology
Step 5: Calculating the Index
From the Normalised values under each dimensions, the mean is calculated which becomes
the state value and the same is calculated using the Harmonic mean value which becomes the
Dimension Index value for state and further the total GVI.
For calculating State aggregate = Average (Normalised Values of the data points in the
Dimension)
For calculating Index = Harmonic mean (State Aggregates)
The index scores can be measured on a scale of 0 to 1.
The closer the score is to 1, the better is the performance.
Plan India
Purpose of using Aggregate mean and Harmonic
Mean:
To avoid the skewness a twostep calculation
method has been used to calculate the index. At
step 1 for a dimension the average of the
normalised values calculated, then to calculate
the index with in the same Harmonic mean has
been used to avoid the scenes in the scores.
Also by using the harmonic mean we negated
any Null”, values in the array of normalised
scores.
15
Plan India
Methodology
As a final step, for each dimension and GVI, the ranks have been calculated using a formula
for statistical ranks.
The states are given a rank of 1 to 30, 1 being the state with the best performance and 30
being the state with the worst performance.
Step 6: Ranking the states based on GVI and Dimension Values
The GVI is presented as a single figure at the country level, further estimations are presented
for each state, by each dimension as well as at the level of the country.
Using The Gender Vulnerability Index (GVI), with 170 indicators, we can identify our current
status across the four dimensions of Education, Health, Poverty and Protection, and draw
integrated conclusions.

Plan India
Limitation: There is very little data in multiple dimensions
and the data points are very few like one or two indicators.
Addressing the same: few dimensions have been aligned
to the nearest domain taking in to account that the few
dimensions have only little data , for instance the data on
digitalisation vulnerabilities have only two indicators , hence
the same has been considered under protection.

Step 2 : Limitations and addressing the same
Overalllimitations
oftheIndex
Plan India32
Limitations of the Index:
 The values are normalised and indexed , hence there will be
variations when the same is seen with actual data sets
 The GVI and final ranking is based on normalised values, the ranks
generated with actual data may vary.
 If there are minute differences in the values of normalised values
they may not be reflected
 As the data sources vary and different timelines have been used,
standard statistical tests can’t be administered on the data sets.
 These indices are calculated based on the available secondary data;
no primary data has been collected and further the quality of the
data is subjective.
 Conceptually, we limit ourselves to view vulnerability of girls and
women as intrinsic, without drawing comparisons between other
indices

  • 5. Plan India5 Indices with regard to children in India INDIA CHILD RIGHTS INDEX DIGITAL GENDER ATLAS FOR GIRLS’ EDUCATION IN INDIA WOMEN EMPOWERMENT INDEX’ (WEI) HEALTH OUTCOMES INDEX SCHOOL EDUCATION QUALITY INDEX (SEQI) POVERTY AND VULNERABILITY IN URBAN INDIA KIDS RIGHTS INDEX HDI GENDER INEQUALITY INDEX MULTIDIMENSI ONAL POVERTY INDEX Though multiple indices are available on different aspects the girls and women face but there is no comprehensive index which covers the issues and different aspects that has an influence on the life of girls and women; hence the concept of developing GENDER VULNERBILITY INDEX has been floated.
  • 7. Plan India7 Research Framework for ‘Plan for Every Child’ initiative Deliberations with subject matter experts in gender Key take away: Need redefine vulnerability under SDG ambit and measure it Key decision: Construct Gender Vulnerability Index and rank states accordingly Conceptualisation of Gender Vulnerability Index
  • 8. Plan India8 Step 5: Calculating the Index Step 6: Ranking the states based on GVI and Dimension Values Step 4: Normalising the values International standards adopted to be in line with other prominent studies. The steps to arrive at the index The Gender Vulnerability Index Methodology - Steps Plan’s Lifecycle Approach has been utilised for establishing and defining Vulnerability for girls and women in India Step 2: Finalising the Dimensions Step 1: Establishing a Conceptual Framework for Gender Vulnerability Out of 9 dimensions, 4 are finalized: Protection, Health & Survival, Education, Poverty 170 indicators from different data sources have been identified under four dimensions Protection- 26 Health- 57 Education- 68 Poverty- 19 Data from 30 states (including Delhi) considered for consolidation of data. Step 3: Identifying the Indicators and consolidating the data Positive and Negative Indicators have been normalized to bring the values on a uniform scale Standard global practice of Yehulashet principal has been used to normalise the values. Index value is calculated using Harmonic Mean across dimensions and GVI. The index scores can be measured on a scale of 0 to 1. The closer the score is to 1, the better is the performance. Formula for statistical ranks is used to calculate Ranks. The states are given a rank of 1 to 30. 1- best performance 30- worst performance
  • 9. Plan India Methodology Step 1: Establishing a Conceptual Framework for Gender Vulnerability Plan’s Lifecycle Approach has been utilised for establishing and defining Vulnerability for girls and women in India as it incorporates native issues and challenges, which are relevant to the local context and eliminate the static definitions of gender by covering major challenges faced by girls and women across the lifecycle. • Pre Birth Gender selection • Survival • Development • Protection, Participation • Inclusion Before birth to age 1 year • Female Feticide and Infanticide • Adverse health events such as absence of or incomplete immunization • Discrimination in parental care • Discrimination in access to food and health care • Low school enrolment and school drop-outs • Restriction on play • Vulnerable to trafficking, child labour, child marriage • Abuse, exploitation and violence Age: 1 to 11 years • Child marriage • Early child bearing • Frequent pregnancy and abortions • Susceptibility to STDs and HIV/AIDS • Maternal morbidity and mortality • Marital and domestic violence • Dowry harassment, desertion, polygamy, divorce • Limited access to information and services • Lack of voice whether in home or society Age: 12 to 18 years • Frequent illness due to malnutrition and anemia and micronutrient deficiency • Restriction on mobility • Unpaid and unrecognized work and drudgery • Domestic chores including heavy domestic work such as commuting long distances to collect firewood or drinking water • Looking after younger siblings Secondary school/ household work Living with husband: getting to know the spouse Early childhood
  • 10. Plan India Step 2: Finalising the Dimensions At the initial phase of the deliberation, the following dimensions were identified Girls Vulnerability Index Safety / Protection Health & Survival Challenges Illiteracy Poverty Policy Framework& Implementatio n Climate Change & Migration Digitalisation Vulnerabilities Cultural Social Practices Urban /Rural Vulnerability The two key challenges faced during the process were 1) Lack of data in many dimensions, or in other words, insufficient indicators to develop a composite index 2) The dimensions are strongly correlated as they can’t be seen in isolation and need to be aligned to one or the other dimensions. Gender Vulnerability Index Safety / Protection Health & Survival Challenges Literacy Poverty
  • 11. Plan India Step 3: Identifying the Indicators and consolidating the data Dimension No of Indicators Protection 26 Education 68 Health 57 Poverty 19 170 indicators are taken from the different Data sources Note: the data for Union Territories and few smaller states are not available; hence discarded from this list (Delhi is included) Census 2011 NFHS HMIS DISE RSOC AES RBI Report ASER NAS
  • 12. Plan India Step 3 : Remarks Skewness of data: When the dimensions are to be decided the scenario few dimensions have more indicators, this may tend to the skewness in the final score of the index. This has taken care as the final score is an aggregate of the four dimensions not all indicators together , the final score got equal representation and hence the skewness towards a single dimension is negated and invariably the limitations and void Data from different sources and timelines : To reduce the same and made the limitation void, the values for the indicators have been normalised. While normalising standard yelchauset’s principal has been used. Agency and Individual Indicators related to agency and individual is considered in a single dimension this may be questionable. The response to this is as this calculated at state level and normalised scores has been applied the same will be negated, hence forth the composite score will be taken when district level GVI is calculated. 12
  • 13. Plan India Step 4: Normalizing the values Normalising the values to bring them on a uniform scale, as the data points are of different time’s periods, sources. Every Indicator is either a Positive indicator or a Negative Indicator. The normalisation is done as per below For Positive Indicators= (where increase in the value means performance in the same area is good) (Actual value – minimum value in the array) maximum value in the array – minimum value in the array For Negative Indicators= (where decrease in the value means performance in the area is good) (Maximum Value in the array – Actual Value ) maximum value in the array – minimum value in the array
  • 14. Plan India Methodology Step 5: Calculating the Index From the Normalised values under each dimensions, the mean is calculated which becomes the state value and the same is calculated using the Harmonic mean value which becomes the Dimension Index value for state and further the total GVI. For calculating State aggregate = Average (Normalised Values of the data points in the Dimension) For calculating Index = Harmonic mean (State Aggregates) The index scores can be measured on a scale of 0 to 1. The closer the score is to 1, the better is the performance.
  • 15. Plan India Purpose of using Aggregate mean and Harmonic Mean: To avoid the skewness a twostep calculation method has been used to calculate the index. At step 1 for a dimension the average of the normalised values calculated, then to calculate the index with in the same Harmonic mean has been used to avoid the scenes in the scores. Also by using the harmonic mean we negated any Null”, values in the array of normalised scores. 15
  • 16. Plan India Methodology As a final step, for each dimension and GVI, the ranks have been calculated using a formula for statistical ranks. The states are given a rank of 1 to 30, 1 being the state with the best performance and 30 being the state with the worst performance. Step 6: Ranking the states based on GVI and Dimension Values The GVI is presented as a single figure at the country level, further estimations are presented for each state, by each dimension as well as at the level of the country. Using The Gender Vulnerability Index (GVI), with 170 indicators, we can identify our current status across the four dimensions of Education, Health, Poverty and Protection, and draw integrated conclusions.

  • 30. Plan India Limitation: There is very little data in multiple dimensions and the data points are very few like one or two indicators. Addressing the same: few dimensions have been aligned to the nearest domain taking in to account that the few dimensions have only little data , for instance the data on digitalisation vulnerabilities have only two indicators , hence the same has been considered under protection. 30 Step 2 : Limitations and addressing the same
  • 32. Plan India32 Limitations of the Index:  The values are normalised and indexed , hence there will be variations when the same is seen with actual data sets  The GVI and final ranking is based on normalised values, the ranks generated with actual data may vary.  If there are minute differences in the values of normalised values they may not be reflected  As the data sources vary and different timelines have been used, standard statistical tests can’t be administered on the data sets.  These indices are calculated based on the available secondary data; no primary data has been collected and further the quality of the data is subjective.  Conceptually, we limit ourselves to view vulnerability of girls and women as intrinsic, without drawing comparisons between other indices
