Gender perspective is vital to formulating and enforcing a comprehensive and nondiscriminatory regime of policies. As an indispensable introduction to this end, the “Compendium on Gender Statistics - 2019” presents sex disaggregated data on population, education, health, family planning, employment, time use pattern and, public representation.
The initial compendium was prepared with the help of Asian Development Bank in 1998 in accordance with UN standards and international practices as observed in Pakistan. The 1st update, 2nd update, 3rd update and the current one have been carried out on the same format with a bit expanded canvas. Notwithstanding almost exclusive reliance on mail enquiry, all possible efforts have been made to include the latest data available with the sources.
