Social Institutions and Gender Index

SIGI score (0 = no discrimination, 100 = absolute)·Higher is worse — rank 1 is worst affected·Published by OECD

We hold the 2023 edition of this indicator, covering 140 countries.

1 edition (2023), covering 140 countries, from the OECD Development Centre via its SDMX API. ⚠ IT MEASURES DISCRIMINATION IN LAW AND CUSTOM, not outcomes — its inputs are legal codes, inheritance rules, attitudes to violence and restrictions on movement, where every other gender indicator on this site (the Gender Inequality Index, Women Business and the Law, the Gender Development Index) measures results such as pay, schooling or seats. That makes it a different question rather than a fourth answer to the same one. ⚠ A HIGHER SCORE IS WORSE: 0 is no discrimination and 100 is absolute, so position 1 is the most discriminatory country, not the least: the table opens on Mauritania at 67.4 and ends on Norway at 6.7. Its four dimensions — discrimination in the family, restricted physical integrity, restricted access to productive and financial resources, and restricted civil liberties — are stored beside the headline. ⚠ ONE EDITION. The OECD publishes SIGI every four or five years (2014, 2019, 2023) but exposes only the 2023 edition as data; the earlier ones exist as report annexes and are not transcribed by hand. ⚠ No rank is published, so none is stored; the POSITION shown on the statistics page is derived here by ordering the score, and labelled as ours.
