The document discusses gender inequities in Germany and Ethiopia, utilizing the Gender Gap Index (GGI) and the Gender Inequality Index (GII) for analysis. It presents data trends from 2006 to 2013, prompting readers to create graphs and describe trends, high and low figures, and anomalies within the data. The document also calls for an evaluation of the GGI components where each country excels or falls short compared to the sample average.

1. Gender and Change
Gender Inequities in Germany and
Ethiopia

2. The Gender Gap Index
• The GGI is an example of an index that we
chose because it has the best data available
and not because it is the best measure. The
Gender Inequality Index is considered to be a
better measure as it is less focused on
economic factors and has a improved
calculation method
