Measures are used to track improvements in key constructs of interest, in this case, gender equality and empowerment (GE/E). GE/E measures assess unequal distribution of resources and opportunities that advantage or benefit males over females due to their sex.

Measures are assessed using survey items (individual questions) that address specific constructs (e.g. age at marriage). Measures can also be assessed using scales, which are a collection of survey items combined into a composite score, usually related to a specific construct (e.g. mental health, or sub-constructs e.g. depression, sadness).
