THE WORLD'S WOMEN 2010
TRENDS & STATISTICS
The
World’s Women 2010: Trends and Statistics is the fifth issue of The World’s Women and is
being produced to coincide with the first-ever World’s Statistics Day,
20.10.2010. The current issue highlights the differences in the status of women
and men in eight areas – population and families, health, education, work,
power and decision-making, violence against women, environment and poverty.
Analyses are based mainly on statistics from international and national
statistical sources.
The World’s Women 2010 shows that progress towards gender equality has
been made in some areas, such as school enrolment, health and economic
participation. At the same time the report shows that much more needs to be
done to close the gender gap in critical areas such as power and
decision-making and violence against women.
