In response to Spud -- the gender development index measures how human development indices for longevity, knowledge and standards of living are differentiated by gender. The less the differentiation in such development as overall education against education for girls, expected number of healthy years for women and men, life expectancy at birth and so on, the higher the gender development index. For more on definitions, see: http://www.undp.org/hdr2002/faq.html
