Precision

The headline is stored to 1 decimal, as published.

Rounded by this site

Never. Tables on screen may show fewer decimals; the files never do.

Changed by this site

Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.

From the OECD Development Centre via its SDMX API. A different question from the Gender Inequality Index, Women Business and the Law and the Gender Development Index rather than a fourth answer to the same one.
