Study of Correlation Between the Gender Gap Index, Economic Efficiency, and Governance in European Countries

Summary/Abstract: As gender equality is a priority for 17 sustainable development goals, it is appropriate to establish a correlationbetween the Gender Gap Index (GGI), economic efficiency and governance. Three hypotheses have beeninvestigated. It is established that there is no general direct relationship between the level of GGI and GDP percapita growth (annual) for all countries, regardless of their level of development. In the UK, small fluctuationsin GDP per capita growth (annual) do not affect GGI levels; however, the Covid-19 pandemic does have itsimpact. In Germany, any fluctuations in GDP per capita growth (annual) do not affect the level of GGI, yet it isaffected by changes in population, in particular by increasing migration. In Ukraine, significant fluctuations inGDP per capita growth (annual) do not affect the level of GGI, although this index is reduced by the effects ofthe pandemic a year after its onset. In addition, the relationship between the population, civil servants, theirdistribution by sex, average wages and GDP per capita growth (annual) and, consequently, the welfare of thepopulation of these countries was established. The obvious efficiency of the UK's and Germany's strategicgovernance systems has different implications for achieving gender equality and well-being. It is proposed touse the Windmill economic model to achieve gender equality among civil servants in the developing country.
