# Gender Gender refers to the roles, behaviors, and identities that societies attribute to individuals based on perceived differences between masculine and feminine traits. It is a social construct that encompasses a spectrum beyond the binary distinction of male and female, influencing personal identity and social interactions. Gender impacts various aspects of life, including economic participation, education, and health. Gender-related metrics aids in understanding disparities and trends within societies. These insights are vital for developing informed policies that advance gender equality and foster inclusive environments across diverse cultural and institutional contexts.
