## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Global Gender Equality Index

Aggregates gender equality data from 4 international sources with composite scoring and news sentiment analysis.

### Features

- **World Bank Gender Statistics** (5 indicators): Female labor force participation, women in parliament, tertiary education gender ratio, female life expectancy, female self-employment
- **Our World in Data**: Women's representation in national parliaments
- **UNESCO Institute for Statistics**: Female tertiary education enrollment (CC-BY-SA 4.0)
- **GDELT News Analysis**: 30-day gender-related news volume and sentiment (CC-BY 4.0)

### Input

```json
{
  "countryCode": "SE"
}
````

- `countryCode` (required): ISO 2-letter country code (e.g., "SE" for Sweden, "KR" for South Korea, "US" for United States)

### Output

```json
{
  "query": {"countryCode": "SE"},
  "worldBankGender": {
    "femaleLaborForceParticipation": 62.1,
    "womenParliamentPct": 47.3,
    "tertiaryGenderRatio": 1.35,

```

### Gender Equality Score Methodology

Composite score (0–100) calculated from:

1. **Female Labor Force Participation** (40% weight): World Bank indicator SL.TLF.CACT.FE.ZS
2. **Women in Parliament** (40% weight): World Bank + Our World in Data cross-reference
3. **Tertiary Education Parity** (40% weight): Gender ratio (target > 1.0 = more women)
4. **Female Life Expectancy** (40% weight): Normalized to global average
5. **News Sentiment** (20% weight): GDELT tone analysis (-10 to +10, normalized to 0–100)

Indices are averaged with specified weights. Missing data reduces denominator but does not penalize.
