The Global AgeWatch Index (GAWI) is a measure that ranks countries according to the wellbeing of their older populations. The GAWI was originally constructed using four domains of economic and social wellbeing including: income security, health status, capability and enabling environment. This paper proposes and develops a new domain of gender equality to produce a reformulated index (rGAWI). This cross-sectional study utilised publicly available data on female labour force participation, total fertility rate and age at first marriage in combination with the original GAWI data. The country ranking based on the two indices (GAWI and rGAWI) were subsequently compared and analysed. The inclusion of the gender inequality domain into the GAWI resulted in changes in the rankings of 87.5% of the countries, indicating that the inclusion of a gender inequality domain increases the specificity of the well-being measure.

重新制定和评估全球AgeWatch幸福指数：纳入基于性别的领域

全球年龄观察指数（GAWI）是一种根据老年人口的健康状况对国家进行排名的指标。GAWI最初是使用经济和社会福祉的四个领域构建的，包括：收入安全，健康状况，能力和有利环境。本文提出并发展了性别平等的新领域，以产生一个重新制定的指数（rGAWI）。这项横断面研究结合了GAWI原始数据，利用了公开的有关女性劳动力参与，总生育率和初婚年龄的数据。随后对基于两个指标（GAWI和rGAWI）的国家排名进行了比较和分析。将性别不平等领域纳入GAWI，导致87.5％的国家/地区排名发生变化，
