Gender equality can be measured and a country’s growth can be traced by using the following methods.

• Gender Development Index (GDI) is a gender-based calculation done similar to the Human Development Index.
• Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM) is a detailed calculation method of the percentage of female members in decision-making roles.
• Gender Equity Index (GEI) considers economic participation, education, and empowerment.

Global Gender Gap Index assesses the level of gender inequality present on the basis of four criteria: economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, political empowerment, health and survival.According to the Gender Gap Index (GGI), India ranks 140 among 156 participating countries. This denotes that the performance of India has fallen from the previous years, denoting negative growth in terms of closing the gender gap. In the current environment where equality and equal opportunities are considered supreme, this makes India be at a significant disadvantage.
