GENERAL

The Claim

Equal Measures 2030’s 2024 SDG Gender Index provides a downloadable dataset that includes a field labeled “required annual change”.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

Official Equal Measures 2030 documentation supports this claim. The 2024 SDG Gender Index data dictionary describes a downloadable CSV dataset and explicitly lists a field called “required annual change.” A third-party schema preview does not negate that evidence because it appears incomplete rather than contradictory.

Caveats

  • The strongest evidence is the official data dictionary, not an independently archived full column listing of the downloaded CSV.
  • Third-party metadata previews may omit fields, so absence from those previews should not be treated as proof the field does not exist.
  • The field label is supported as documented by Equal Measures 2030; file formatting or capitalization in exports could still vary slightly.
