Technical Notesmaximum and minimum values were established, taken from When data on the wage ratio are not available, as is the casethe GHDRs:in Mozambique, the same document suggests an estimate ofLife expectancy at birth: Maximum 82.5 e 87.5 years for 75%, the weighted average of the wage ratios for countries withmen and women respectively: Minimum 22.5 and 27.5 years for wage data out of the series of countries included in the study, ofmen and women respectively. The difference reflects the fact which Mozambique was part. This value means that, on average,that women tend to live longer than men, given the same care the wages of women are 25% lower than those of men.(medical care, nutrition etc.)The same maximum and minimum values as used in calculatingthe HDI were maintained for the Adult Literacy Rate, the try (Y) is divided between men and women in accordance withIt is then assumed that the total GDP (PPP US$) of a coun-Combined Gross Enrolment Rate, and real per capita GDP, as the female share of earned income. Formally,well as the formula for calculating the individual indices.However, to allow comparability of the administrative regions Total GDP (PPP US$) going to women = S f x (Total GDPwithin Mozambique, the minimum and maximum values were PPP$ of the country)converted into nominal meticais, based on the PPC conversionrate, and then applying a deflator that allows comparability Total GDP (PPP US$) going to men = Total GDP PPP$ of thebetween years along a series under analysis.country x (1 – S f )The equally distributed life expectancy index is given The per capita GDP (in PPP US$) of (y f ) and of men (y m ) isby:obtained by division by the female and male population of thecountry.{Female population share x (Female life expectancy index) (1-?) +male population share x (Male life expectancy index) (1-?) } (1-?) The adjusted income both for women W (y f ) and for men W(y m ) is dealt with in the same way as in the construction of theLikewise, the equally distributed educational index is HDI:given by:Log (y f ) – Log (y minimum){Female population share x (educational attainment index) (1-?) + W(y f ) =male population share x (educational attainment index) (1-?) } (1-?)Log (y maximum ) – Log (y minimum)&Income CalculationLog (y m ) – Log (y minimum)Values of real per capita GDP (PPP US$) for women and for W(y m ) =men, in an ideal situation, are calculated, following UNDPLog (y maximum ) – Log (y minimum)(2004:264) recommendations, from the female share (S f ) andmale share of earned income, using the ration between female The equally distributed income index is given by:non-agricultural wages (W f) and male non-agricultural wages(w m ) and the percentage shares of women (ea f ) and men (ea m ) {Female population share x [W (y f )] (1-?) + Male populationin the economically active population.
