Which one of the following is not used as a measure of Gender Related Development Index ?
Answer: D
Participation in work-force is not one of the GDI's measures.
The Gender-related Development Index, introduced by UNDP in 1995, adjusts the three dimensions of the Human Development Index for gender inequality. It uses life expectancy at birth (health), adult literacy and school enrolment (knowledge) and estimated earned income (standard of living), each calculated separately for women and men.
Labour-force participation is an indicator in the Gender Inequality Index, which replaced the older Gender Empowerment Measure, not in the GDI. Life expectancy, literacy and earned income are all GDI components.
