Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of global trends in gender equality in health, socio-economic resources and politics over the entire 20th century. It does so by extending the historical gender equality index (HGEI) introduced in the previous How Was Life? report back to 1900 and forward to 2010, and by including additional indicators. While progress since 1900 towards gender equality is visible especially in the dimensions of health and socio-economic resources, cluster analysis reveals that the groupings of countries by level of gender equality remains similar through time. The main exceptions are Southern Europe and the Nordic countries, which witness substantial improvements in the post-1950 period. https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/social-issues-migration-health/how-was-life-volume-ii_d005dfaf-en
