Explanation

Statements 1 and 2 are completely correct. The 'Global Gender Gap Report' published by the World Economic Forum measures the gender gap based on four key pillars: Economic Participation, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment.

The 'World Press Freedom Index' is published by 'Reporters Without Borders', which evaluates political, economic, legislative, social, and safety contexts.

Statement 3 is incorrect because the Human Development Index (HDI) includes per capita Gross National Income (GNI) along with life expectancy and education.
Statement 4 is incorrect because the Global Hunger Index includes undernourishment, wasting, stunting, and child mortality, not agricultural productivity or exports.
