“Improve statistical systems, official indicators and administrative records, mainstreaming the gender perspective and advancing towards
the full recognition of women’s economic and social contribution to the development of society.”
Possible lines of action
1. Ensure disaggregation by sex in the collection and production of information in statistics systems and administrative records so as to
incorporate the gender focus in different analyses; 2. Incorporate disaggregation by race, ethnic origin, socioeconomic level, place of
residence, etc., into gender analysis to ensure that the decisions taken are relevant to different groups of women; 3. Develop and adopt
official indicators with a gender perspective for monitoring progress toward gender equality; 4. Maintain an ongoing process of training
in the preparation and use of analyses based ongender indicators.
Targets
1. All pertinent statistics systems and administrative records have gender-disaggregated information relating to other variables in issues
of priority for gender equality policies; 2. Official indicators are available for monitoring progress toward gender equality; 3. The
statistical information produced by government offices is broadly disseminated and used to promote and implement public policies on
gender equality.
Tentative indicators
1. Percentage of statistics systems and administrative records that have gender-disaggregated information for other variables;
2. Percentage of official systems of indicators that incorporate the gender perspective by sector.
