It aims\u00a0to better expose differences in the distribution of achievements between women and men. It measures the human development costs of gender inequality, so\u00a0the higher the GII value the more disparities between females and males and the more loss to human development.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, one day girls truly will be able to run the world, and the GII will be at the fine number of zero.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Image:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Image 1:\u00a0http:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/girls-i-know-that-19yH2r3Y1eeic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was so, so happy to see that so many people in my class focused on gender inequality and all-around girl power for their final papers\/projects. \u00a0Gender inequality is a serious problem that I still do not think has garnered enough attention. \u00a0Although there have been many great changes made, there is still much to &hellip; <a class=\"read-excerpt\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/ivannaq\/2016\/06\/04\/girl-group\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&raquo;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1560,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"qubely_global_settings":"","qubely_interactions":"","kk_blocks_editor_width":"","_kiokenblocks_attr":"","_kiokenblocks_dimensions":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"gutentor_comment":9,"qubely_featured_image_url":null,"qubely_author":{"display_name":"ivannaq","author_link":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/ivannaq\/author\/ivannaq\/"},"qubely_comment":9,"qubely_category":"<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/ivannaq\/category\/uncategorized\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Uncategorized<\/a>","qubely_excerpt":"I was so, so happy to see that so many people in my class focused on gender inequality and all-around girl power for their final papers\/projects. \u00a0Gender inequality is a serious problem that I still do not think has garnered enough attention. \u00a0Although there have been many great changes made, there is still much to&hellip;","post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/ivannaq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/ivannaq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/ivannaq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/ivannaq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1560"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/ivannaq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/ivannaq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":182,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/ivannaq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148\/revisions\/182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/ivannaq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/ivannaq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/ivannaq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
