UN Human Development Report 

  using data from the UN Human Development Report 

1. Collect the following data: South Africa

Human Development Index (HDI): Life expectancy (LE), expected years of schooling (EYS), mean years of schooling (MYS), GNI per capita, GNI per capita rank minus HDI rank.

Gender Development Index: Collect each of these separately for women and men - HDI, LE, EYS, MYS, GNI per capita

Gender Inequality Index: Seats in parliament held by women, Secondary education for women and men, labor force participation for women and men

2. Create a table with the data you collected from the Human Development Report. Again, your table will be graded on the basis of clarity and how well it conveys the information you present.

3. Evaluate gender inequality in  South Africa. Does  South Africa suffer from gender inequality and if so, how does gender inequality most strongly manifest? What kind of policy would you advocate to reduce gender inequality in  South Africa?

4. Based on an analysis of the data you have collected, what is the most pressing development issue facing  South Africa? Using sound economic logic, explain why this is a problem, and outline one policy that addresses this issue.
