Gender Empowerment Measure of Mexico
The Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM) was created by the United Nation’s Development Program (UNDP) to measure the empowerment of women in a country. It measures the inequalities in political participation and decision-making, access to professional opportunities and economic participation and decision-making, and power over economic resources based on earned income. For example, it indicates the participation of women in political and economic life and in decision-making positions such as the number of parliamentary seats and the number of professional and authoritative jobs held by women. The measure range is from .000 (lowest) to 1.000 (highest).
The first United Nations World Conference on Women was held in Mexico City in 1975; governments, civil society and United Nations bodies committed themselves to work with and for women. The year in which a woman became Presiding Officer of parliament or of one of its houses for the first time was 1994.
