Abstract: The UNECE Gender Statistics Database (http://w3.unece.org/stat/gender.asp) is an integral part of the UNECE/UNDP Gender Statistics Website for Europe and North America (www.unece.org/stats/gender/web), which aims to bring together both gender policies and statistics. Data is available for the years 1980, 1990, 1995, and from 2000 onwards on an annual basis. To ensure comparability, the data provided are in most cases in line with international standard definitions. However, for data not in line with international standard definitions, additional information about the data, or metadata, is provided. The following provides a snapshot of what the UNECE Gender Statistics Database has to offer when some of the data on women and men is analysed.
