This paper proposes to measure and to evaluate gender gaps and gender inequalities by means of the decomposition of an inequality measure. A three-terms decomposition of the Gini index is applied, thus allowing to take into account also the role of overlapping between female and male...

In this paper, we propose an alternative methodology to capture the impact of the inequality factors on poverty by decomposing the traditional Foster-Greer-Thorbecke index. We introduce a frame of decomposition of the Gini coefficient, including the overlapping effects. Our method disentangles...
