Notes :
| 1 - | Because of the lack of gender-disaggregated income data, female and male earned income are crudely estimated on the basis of data on the ratio of the female nonagricultural wage to the male nonagricultural wage, the female and male shares of the economically active population, the total female and male population and GDP per capita in PPP US$ (see http://hdr.undp.org/technicalnote1). The wage ratios used in this calculation are based on data for the most recent year available between 1999 and 2007. |
| 2 - | For the purpose of calculating the GDI, the female and male values appearing in this table were scaled downward to reflect the maximum values for adult literacy (99%), gross enrolment ratios (100%), and GDP per capita (40,000 (PPP US$)). For more details, see http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/tn1. |
| 3 - | No wage data are available. For the purposes of calculating the estimated female and male earned income, a value of 0.75 was used for the ratio of the female nonagricultural wage to the male nonagricultural wage. |
| 4 - | Data refer to an earlier year than that specified. |
| 5 - | Heston, Summers and Aten (2006). "Penn World Table Version 6.2". Philadelphia: Center for International Comparisons of Production, Income and Prices at the University of Pennsylvania. Data differ from the standard definition. |
| 6 - | Earned income is estimated using data on the economic activity rate for Serbia and Montenegro prior to its separation into two independent states in June 2006. |
| 7 - | Calculated on the basis of GDP in PPP US$ for 2006 from World Bank (2009d). "World Development Indicators". Washington DC: World Bank and total population for the same year from UN 2009e. "World Population Prospects: The 2008 Revision". New York: Department of Social and Economic Affairs. |
