We work on the creation of a reference platform for improving gender statistics and contribute to informing policy debate and decision-making on gender issues through the maintenance of the UNECE Gender Statistics Database.

The UNECE Gender Statistics Database provides a framework of statistical indicators on gender-relevant issues and data for monitoring the situation of women and men in UNECE member countries and for evaluating effectiveness of policies. It was launched in 2003, compiles sex-disaggregated data from most of the 56 UNECE countries and is available in English and Russian.

The topics covered in the Database include: population, fertility, families and households, work and the economy, education, public life and decision-making, health and mortality, crime and violence, science and information and communication technology, and work-life balance.
