Since 2023, IMD is part of the Working Group that is developing the Domestic Equity Index.
Domestic and care work is still highly unbalanced between men and women.
Official statistics do not capture the everyday dynamics within families.
The Domestic Equality Index (DEI) is a tool that shows how couples divide:
- time and daily activities,
- the level of involvement of both partners,
- the ability to negotiate and rebalance tasks.
- co-construction of the questionnaire to raise awareness
