The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) includes specific targets addressing factors of importance to reduced gender inequality and promotes gender development. The UN Development Programme (UNDP) has reported on gender inequality and gender development indexes based on available data relating to specific SDGs, the indexes being calculated through an elaborate aggregation process. The present study applies the provided UNDP data as basis for a partial order-based approach to gender inequality and development. The data have been applied as indicators without any pretreatment as, e.g., weighting or any aggregation. The focus of the study has been the elucidation of indicator importance, averaged ranking, and disclosure of so-called peculiar countries. The results show that in relation to both reducing inequality and promoting development, the focus should be on education, whereas the financial aspects play a less significant role. The average ranking of the studied countries differs from the linear ordering based on the aggregated indicators applied by the UNDP, although the overall trend can be recognized. A series of the so-called peculiar countries has been disclosed. Thus, for a series of African countries a surprisingly high female-to-male ratio for labor force were found, and a series of Islamic states are all denoted peculiar due to rather low indicator values for the female seats in parliament and female participation in the labor force. Due to the inherent nature of partial ordering incomparabilities between countries prevail. The nature of such incomparabilities has been addressed.

性别不平等与发展

联合国的可持续发展目标（SDG）包括一些具体目标，这些目标涉及对减少性别不平等和促进性别发展具有重要意义的因素。联合国开发计划署（开发署）根据有关具体可持续发展目标的现有数据，报告了性别不平等和性别发展指数，这些指数是通过精心汇总的过程计算出来的。本研究将所提供的开发计划署数据作为对性别不平等和发展采取基于偏序的部分方法的基础。该数据已被用作指标，无需进行任何预处理，例如加权或任何汇总。研究的重点是阐明指标的重要性，平均排名和披露所谓的特殊国家。结果表明，在减少不平等和促进发展方面，重点应放在教育上，而财务方面的作用则不太重要。尽管可以认出总体趋势，但被研究国家的平均排名与基于开发计划署所采用的综合指标的线性排序有所不同。已经公开了一系列所谓的特殊国家。因此，对于一系列非洲国家，发现劳动力中的男女比例高得令人惊讶，并且由于伊斯兰议会中女性席位的指标值较低以及女性参政党的指标值较低，一系列伊斯兰国家都被认为是奇特的。劳动力。由于部分订购的内在本质，导致国家之间的不兼容性普遍存在。此类不可比性的性质已得到解决。
