Введение Gender statistics. General Overview. Gender statistics is a field of statistics that cuts across the traditional fields to identify, produce and disseminate statistics that reflect the realities of the lives of women and men and policy issues relating to address gender issues*. Gender statistics allow for a systematic study of gender differentials and gender issues. Gender issues are all aspects and concerns of how women and men interrelate, their differences in access to and use of resources, their activities, and how they react to changes, interventions and policies. In general, there are three main requirements for gender statistics**: 1. all statistics on individuals should be collected, collated and presented disaggregated by sex; 2. all variables and characteristics should be analyzed by and presented with sex as a primary and overall classification; 3. specific efforts should be made to identify gender issues and provide data that address these. * As per the definition of gender statistics by the UNECE, http://www. unece.org/stats/gender/genstats/genstats-1.htm * * Loren Corner, From Margins to Mainstream: From Gender Statistics to Engendering Statistical Systems, UNIFEM Asia-Pacific and Arab States, p. 2.

Введение Gender statistics. General Overview The Women s Committee and the Foreign Ministry and the National Human Rights Committee closely collaborate with the Statistics Committee to produce national reporting on the international obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), Beijing Platform for Action and Millennium Development Goals. At the national level, governments are implementing programmes and activities to improve the situation of women and to expand their economic rights. More pro-active efforts of government bodies, non-governmental and academic organizations in the country in addressing gender issues fostered increased domestic demand for statistics demonstrating the extent of gender equality, and there are now more users of such statistics. The first steps in promoting gender statistics in Uzbekistan were made back in late 1990-s. This was the time when Uzbekistan started and continues publishing brochures gender indicators. Each publication is a step forward, a milestone in developing and disseminating gender indicators. Thus, brochure Women and Men in Uzbekistan published in 2002 by the Ministry of Macroeconomics and the Women s Committee (with the support of UNDP and ADB) was the first publication which brought together the indicators in 9 strategic areas, including first published data related to governance, politics and entrepreneurship. Since then, similar publications were issued with the assistance of international organizations in 2002, 2007, 2010 and 2012. All of them contain key gender indicators produced from administrative sources and surveys.

Gender statistics. Gender Overview Общее положение. Введение Web site gender.stat.uz is the first attempt to create an electronic gender statistics database in order to improve further gender-related data and to produce on time gender-disaggregated data. The Web site builds on the recommendations of international organizations on systematization, and takes into account the introduction and development of new indicators which support comparable analysis of the situation of women and men. These activities are part of the overall national statistics development aimed to adequately reflect new dimensions of social and economic development of the country driven by deepening of reforms and democratization of the society.
