Data description

The Gender Data Portal (United Nations and World Bank) provides country level observations in six thematic areas: Economic structures and participation; Education; Health and related services; Public life and decision making; Human rights of women and girls, and Demographic indicators. Data is sourced from the regional commissions of the UN and the World Bank.

The European Institute for Gender Equality publishes the annual Gender Equality Index, which allows researchers to compare variables for all EU member states by work domain and pay level.

Data on gender are also included in databases accessible via the EUI Library Data Portal.
