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.
