Question

Which of the following statements is most consistent with the data shown in the table?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is option A;

A. There are a large number of women in the Spanish legislature, but few women have been elected in Kuwait

Explanation:

The options given for the same question online are;

A. There are a large number of women in the Spanish legislature, but few women have been elected in Kuwait

B -Spain Kuwait are countries that have very similar levels of economic activity

C -An increase in per capita wealth will almost always result in an improvement in gender equality in a country

D- Spain and Kuwait are countries that have very different levels of economic activity

E - There is a close correlation between the two statistics displayed on the chart above

The data in the chart are presented as follows;

$\begin{array}{ccc}Country&GII&GDP \ per \ Capita \ (United \ States \ dollars)\\Spain&0.080&28,157\\Kuwait&0.270&29,040\end{array}$

Where GII is the Gender Inequality Index is a measurement that shows the difference in the level of attainments or achievements in reproductive health, labor market and empowerment between men and women in a given population

Where;

The criteria on health focuses on maternal mortality and adolescent fertility

The empowerment criteria is related to the level of educational attainment and the share of the available seats in parliament held by each gender

The labor criteria gives a measure of the involvement of women in the labor force workforce

A GII of 0 is an indication of equality in men and women achievement while a score of 1 is an indication of unfair treatment of men compared women or women compared to men

Therefore, given that the GDP per capita is high, and almost equal in both countries there are an appreciable equal number of women who earn an equal amount compared to men

The GDP is a measure of goods produced, which the parliamentary influences rather than contribute to, therefore, the low GII observed in Spain compared Kuwait is more likely due to the presence of a large number of women in the Spanish parliament while only a few women have been chanced to serve in an elected position in Kuwait

Answer 2

Answer:

A. There are a large number of women in the Spanish legislature, but few women have been elected in Kuwait.

Explanation:

Using the GII, the closer to 0 the value is, the greater measurement of gender equality there is for the country being ascribed. Therefore, we can see that Spain's GII value is substantially closer 0 than Kuwait, which indicates this disparity.

And if that's not enough assurance, I had this question for an assignment and got it right. :)
