Sex-Disaggregated Data
Data collected and presented separately for males and females.
Definition
Sex-disaggregated data is crucial for identifying and analyzing gender disparities, informing evidence-based policy development, and monitoring the impact of interventions. The NPGE 2011 stresses the importance of collecting such data to ensure that policies effectively target the specific needs of women and men in different contexts, including the labour market, and to track progress towards gender equality objectives. This data provides the empirical basis for understanding and addressing gender inequalities.
