What is the parameter that measures of the osmotic force induced by a substance?
I mean you have two substances, what expresses how much water each will drag through a semipermeable membrane?

look up "colligative properties"

colligative properties
It doesn't help.
Is it osmolarity, osmolality?

osmotic pressure is what gets measured.
Osmotic pressure is determined by mole fraction of non-water species in solution (proportional to molality).
For compounds that don't dissociate it is easy
For a given mass of water, osmotic pressure of one mole of ethanol = one mole of methanol = one mole of acetone = one mole of glucose (if you care about mass of solute, this will then vary by molar mass of the solute, so 32 g of methanol = 46 g of ethanol = 58 g of acetone = 180 g of glucose
For compounds that do dissociate, you have to account for how much they dissociate, and into how many species they do
one mole of ethanol < one mole of acetic acid < one mole of formic acid < one mole of hydrochloric acid < one mole of sulfuric acid < one mole of calcium chloride etc.
