Module for Global Studies
Instructor: Crystal Chang Cohen
The goal of this module is to examine the UN's Gender Inequality Index (GII) ranking system in Asian countries and compare it with the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report (GGGR). In this module, we will go over basic concepts in Python, calculate the Gender Inequality Index, visualize the GII for Asian countries using maps, predict the GII for a country, and compare the differences in calculation of the GII and GGGR.
