I'm not sure the wording of this is right, it suggests to me that the starting point is the gap between men and women that existed at some time. Is that right? If so, what was the original gap and how was it calculated? Was it the same gap for each country? Also, the gap between men and women in what? Alternatively, is the intended meaning something like: "shows the economic well-being of women relative to men in each country, the difference from 100% represents the gap between men and women" --[[User:Philbarker | Phil Barker]] 06:08, 4 September 2009 (UTC) |

There is a mistake in the map image. Sri Lanka should be highlighted in blue! I sense a slight prejudice, just because it's next to India! Look at the percentage, Sri Lanka has 74%. Wikipedia won't even let me upload the corrected image! |

interpretation
- "scores can be interpreted as the percentage of the gap between women and men that has been closed."
I'm not sure the wording of this is right, it suggests to me that the starting point is the gap between men and women that existed at some time. Is that right? If so, what was the original gap and how was it calculated? Was it the same gap for each country? Also, the gap between men and women in what? Alternatively, is the intended meaning something like: "shows the economic well-being of women relative to men in each country, the difference from 100% represents the gap between men and women" -- Phil Barker 06:08, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

There is a mistake in the map image. Sri Lanka should be highlighted in blue! I sense a slight prejudice, just because it's next to India! Look at the percentage, Sri Lanka has 74%. Wikipedia won't even let me upload the corrected image!
