Se concluye que, a pesar de que este Índice representa un paso adelante en la medición de la igualdad entre mujeres y hombres, también sufre algunos problemas derivados de la selección de indicadores básicos y de la métrica empleada. En resumen, a) el IIG tiene una escasa capacidad para distinguir los logros alcanzados por los países, en particular los más desarrollados; b) el IIG mide simultáneamente igualdad de género y desarrollo económico y social, y por tanto sobrevalora los logros de los países más desarrollados con respecto a los que no lo están tanto; y c) el IIG tiende a sobrevalorar la mejora en la igualdad que se viene produciendo desde 2005.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: In this paper we explore some of the features of the Gender Equality Index (GEI) proposed by the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE), which is the measure for gender equality most known and with a greater impact in Europe. The GEI has supposed a considerable step forward in the measurement of gender equality. Nevertheless, it also suffers some drawbacks due to the selection of its basic indicators and the metric used. In short, i) the GEI fails when it has to distinguish between achievements regarding gender quality in the most developed countries in Europe; ii) the GEI measures gender equality and economic and social development simultaneously and therefore overstates the achievements in gender equality in the more developed countries; and iii) the GEI tends to overstate the progress in gender equality from 2005 to the present.]]></p></abstract>
