The demand for gender statistics has increased over the years due to international attention and gender mainstreaming in policies.
To provide guidance on improving the availability of data and ensuring that gender issues are mainstreamed in all areas of official statistics, the UN Statistical Division created this manual to add a gender perspective to national statistics.
This manual is divided into four sections:
- Users, uses, and production of gender statistics
- Bringing gender issues into statistics
- Integrating a gender perspective into data collection
- Analysis and presentation of gender statistics
