| Popis: | Social gaps caused by gender differences were evaluated fot the first time by PNUD (UNDP) using two composite indicators: Gender-Related Development Index and Gender Empowerment Measure. Among the criticisms these indicators have been subjected to, we note their inability to adapt its territorial context of the phenomenon. This paper aims the adjustment of an indicator for gender disparity in the particular context of Balkan countries by testing several dimensions of inequalities: cultural stereotypes, reproductive health, unemployment, longevity. The final results extracted by the factor analysis will attempt to identify how certain gender attitudes are dependent or not of the territorial architecture. |
