GENDER EQUALITY INDEX OF THE AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITIES OF SPAIN: A MULTIDIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS
用25个变量构建四维度（教育、劳动力市场、社会条件、赋权）的性别平等指数，比较西班牙各自治区的性别差距，为后续研究性别平等对区域经济的影响提供方法框架。
The main aim of this document is to establish a diagnosis of inequality between men and women in the autonomous communities of Spain. This study proposes a multidimensional methodology composed of 25 variables and classifies them in four dimensions: education, labor market, social conditions, and empowerment, using the subjective preference model to determine the weight of each variable. Then the four dimensions are added with equal weight to obtain a general indicator for each of the autonomous communities. Therefore, this study presents an adequate diagnosis that allows comparing the gender gap for each of the autonomous communities in any of the different issues raised: both in every dimension and at a general level. The final goal is to establish a methodological reference framework to estimate how gender equality benefits the regional economy. This estimation will be done in our next research.
