Abstract: In the present paper we try to find a connexion between two indexes which measure the gender inequality and gender equality in human development. The first one is Gender Inequality Index (IHDI) developed by the United Nation Development Program. The second one is Gender Equality Index, developed by the European Institute for Gender Equality. The aim for both of them is to show the public which is the difference in human development between women and men in terms of income, education, health, labour market participation and some other domains. So, we try to put in correlation these two indicators and also to measure how strong it is.
