Producing gender statistics

 

ANALYSIS, PRESENTATION & DISSEMINATION
THE PRODUCTION PROCESS OF GENDER STATISTICS

 

The last part of the process concerns the analysis, presentation, and dissemination of data. Statistics and indicators needed for gender analyses stem from different statistical fields and therefore are often spread over various publications. Although all statistical publications should reflect the reality of women and men, it is also important that data related to women and men be available in a single statistical product tailored to the users' needs. Attention should also be paid to the way the data are being presented. A marketing and dissemination plan for the statistical product(s) on gender should be developed early and in parallel to the production process thus ensuring that the target audience is reached efficiently.
