UNDP's 'Gender Social Norms Index' comprises four dimensions. Which of the following is not a dimension?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C

Explanation

The Gender Social Norms Index (GSNI), published by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), measures how social beliefs obstruct gender equality. It comprises four dimensions based on seven indicators from the World Values Survey:

  • Political: Measured by indicators on women's rights to political leadership and voting.
  • Educational: Measured by the indicator on the importance of university education for men versus women.
  • Economic: Measured by indicators on women's right to jobs and business leadership.
  • Physical Integrity: Measured by indicators on intimate partner violence and reproductive rights.

Cultural is not one of the four specific dimensions defined in the GSNI framework, although social norms themselves are inherently cultural in nature. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
