The Gender Social Norms Index (GSNI) comprises four dimensions: Political, Educational, Economic, and Physical (Integrity). ‘Cultural’ is not listed as one of these four specific dimensions.

The UNDP’s Gender Social Norms Index measures biases against gender equality. It assesses people’s beliefs about the roles of women across specific domains of life. The four dimensions used for this measurement are Political, Educational, Economic, and Physical Integrity.

The GSNI is based on survey data covering specific questions within each dimension. For example, the Political dimension measures beliefs about whether men make better political leaders than women. The Educational dimension looks at beliefs about university being more important for men than women. The Economic dimension covers beliefs about men being better business executives or having more right to a job when jobs are scarce. The Physical Integrity dimension addresses beliefs about violence against women or women having the right to make decisions about their own body. While cultural norms are the underlying subject of the index, ‘Cultural’ itself is not one of the four dimensions used to categorize these norms.
