Zusammenfassung:	After providing a critical review of the two gender equality measures that have been developed by UNDP in its 1995 "Human Development Report," Dijkstra develops a new alternative measure of gender equality. This new measure, the Standardized Index of Gender Equality, draws on the good aspects of Gender-related Development Index (GDI) and Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM) while at the same time attempting to avoid their methodological limitations.
