The United Nations (UN) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) formulate the global Gender Inequality Index (GII).

Based on 2021 calculations, the country with the lowest gender inequality was Denmark, with an index score of 0.013 points on a scale of 0-1. The lower the score, the lower the gender inequality in that country.

Second was Norway with a value of 0.016 points. Third was Switzerland with 0.018 points.

Fourth was Sweden with a score of 0.023 points. Fifth was the Netherlands with a slightly higher value of 0.025 points.

Among the 10 countries with the lowest gender inequality, Singapore is the only Southeast Asian country on the list, with a value of 0.040 points. Indonesia itself ranked 44th with an index value of 0.444 points.

The UNDP calculates the Gender Inequality Index by looking at several dimensions, including health, empowerment, and labor force participation.

For the health dimension, the indicators considered are maternal mortality and the proportion of births by adult women.

The empowerment dimension considers the attainment of secondary education or higher for women and men, as well as quotas in legislative representation (House of Representatives).

The labor force market dimension considers the proportion of male and female labor force participation.

Below is the ranking of countries with the lowest gender inequality index in the world in 2021:

* Denmark 0.013 points
* Norway 0.016 points
* Switzerland 0.018 points
* Sweden 0.023 points
* Netherlands 0.025 points
* Finland 0.033 points
* Singapore 0.040 points
* Iceland 0.043 points
* Luxembourg 0.044 points
* Belgium 0.048 points
