Leveraging Household Surveys to Close the Gender Data Gap

Demand for high-quality gender statistics is increasing, driven by international frameworks and national development strategies. Yet substantial gaps persist in the availability of gender-disaggregated data. This advanced course, held in Perugia (Italy) on 20-24 May, 2024 covered the context and motivation for improving gender statistics and individual level data. The course provided an overview of best practices in questionnaire design, respondent selection, sampling, and fieldwork considerations to collect accurate data reflecting gendered patterns in work and employment, education, health, agriculture, asset ownership, time use, and other topics, anchored in the latest international guidelines.
