In general, Northern American, European, and Oceanian countries have lower gender inequality index values, while African and South East Asian countries have higher gender inequality index. There is a rather wide range of GII values distributed in Asia, where as in other continents, the values of GII are relatively similar. The range of GII in the world is wide, implying a significant gap in gender equality among countries. While the lowest GIIs can be below 0.1, the higher ones can reach 0.7.
