"Drawing on data sources from leading academic and research
institutions including the ILO, Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), the
World Bank, World Economic Forum (WEF), Inter-Parliamentary Union, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), PwC and
McKinsey & Company, the updated MIWE ranks and scores each economy
according to its performance over the past year, particularly since the onset of
the coronavirus crisis. Aggregating these scores, the index provides an overall
assessment of how women are faring in the business, financial, education, and
workplace settings compared to their male counterparts at the national level
as well as their peers on a global level."
