Working group on improving household surveys including how to improve gender inclusiveness

Expert groups play a unique role in improving the quality and scope of official statistics. Developed by the UN Statistical Commission, the Inter-secretariat working Group on Household Surveys fosters improvement in the scope and quality of social and economic statistics as delivered through national, regional and international household survey programs. While gender is not the main focus of the working group, household surveys nonetheless collect demographic information (such as age and sex) of household members.
