Gender Gap Grader

The Gender Gap Grader is about measuring the gender gap across all professional fields.

  • Mission statement

Gender Gap Grader’s mission is to publish gender gap estimates at the finest grain level, using whatever reference database we can identify for a particular industry: The Internet Movie Database (IMDB) for the film industry, “The Airman Database” for pilots, “The AngelList” for startups and investors, scientists … and more to come.

  • Methodology and tools

The estimates are produced using open data and applied onomastics from NamSor, to infer the likely gender of a personal name with high accuracy.

The toolkit includes open source components for popular data mining tools and languages,

  • Power BI Desktop is a free, stand-alone application from Microsoft. It has rich, easy-to-use analytic capabilities and makes it painless to bring in data from a variety of sources. With the open source connector, any PowerBI table that has personal names can be enriched with gender information or other diversity analytics (country of origin / ethnicity …) Example: the Gender Gap in M&A.

  • Other alternative include : RapidMiner, nomine R Package, or using directly the Gender API with python or other computer languages.

The toolkit has been used in academia for various studies,
