Unlike conventional indicators, which capture inequality in outcomes like education and employment, the OECD’s Social Institutions Gender Index (SIGI) evaluates the underlying drivers of such outcomes, comparing factors such as preferential treatment of sons over daughters, violence against women, and restrictions on property rights. According to this metric, in 2012, India ranked 56th out of 86 countries for gender equality, lower than other major emerging markets like Brazil, China, Indonesia, and South Africa.
与用教育和就业等显示不平等情况的常规指标不同，经合组织的社会机构性别指数（Social Institutions Gender Index，SIGI）评估这些情况背后的原因，比较诸如男孩女孩区别对待、针对妇女的暴力和产权约束等因素。根据这一指数，2012年印度在性别平等排行榜上位居86个国家的第56位，低于巴西、中国、印尼和南非等其他主要新兴市场国家。
