Results: In the study, 50% of the gaps in the economic participation opportunity and educational attainments sub-dimension. It has also been observed that in the health and survival sub-dimension countries have almost completely closed gender gaps and have not closed the gaps of any country in the political empowerment sub-dimension. As a result of the clustering analysis the countries were divided into two groups according to the Global Gender Gap.
