| The World's Women
2005: Progress in Statistics |
This report uniquely focuses on this issue of
national reporting of sex disaggregated statistics in
such areas as demographics, health, education, work,
violence against women, poverty, human rights and
decision-making. This is the fourth World’s
Women report since 1991. The previous three focused
on statistical trends in the situation of women. Five
years ago, the World’s Women report emphasized
that there was a lack of sex disaggregated data and that
the improvement of national statistical capacity – the
ability to provide timely and reliable statistics – are
essential for improving gender statistics. |

|
|
As a response to the concerns raised in
the previous issue, The World’s Women 2005: Progress
in Statistics reviews and analyses the current
availability of data and assesses progress made in the
provision of national statistics, as opposed to
internationally prepared estimates, relevant to gender
concerns during the past 30 years. This report proposes
a set of strategies to strengthen national capacity to
collect and report statistics and also for improved
mainstreaming of gender concerns.
The Annex reports on the availability
of national statistics of key gender concerns as well as
providing updated figures for many of the indicators
presented in The
World’s Women 2000: Trends and Statistics, plus
some additional relevant indicators of the status of
women and men.
The World’s Women report is
prepared by the Statistics Division of the UN Department
for Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) at regular
five-year intervals starting in 1991. The three previous
issues compiled and analyzed data on women’s status
world wide.
