Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

The indicator refers to the extent to which a country has laws and regulations that guarantee women and men aged 15 and over, full and equal access to medical services, information and education. The indicator is expressed as a percentage on a scale from 0 to 100 (there are national laws and regulations that guarantee full and equal access) and indicates the status of the country and progress in the existence of such national laws and regulations. The indicator only measures the existence of laws and regulations but does not measure their application.

The Inquiry is sent to the Permanent Missions by UN Population Division (DESA) to facilitate data collection from national governments.

The indicator measures specific legal enablers and barriers for 13 components across four sections. The calculation of the indicator requires data for all 13 components. The 13 components are placed on the same scale, with 0% being the lowest value and 100% being the most optimal value. Each component is calculated independently and weighted equally.
