Innovations in Gender Data

The United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), in collaboration with Data2X and UN Women, is organizing this panel discussion to present recent innovations in gender data to key partners from national statistical offices, civil society, relevant international organizations and the statistical community.

  • Data2X will highlight the growing importance of time use data to inform policymaking and fill data gaps, in particular in women's and girls' time spent on unpaid work.

  • UNSD will present its new initiatives on (i) modernizing time use data collection/use including on unpaid domestic and care work and (ii) measuring asset ownership from a gender perspective: findings from the EDGE Project.
