Database Info: GenderStats - Database of Gender Statistics

Description GenderStats from the World Bank is an electronic database of gender statistics and indicators. It offers statistical and other data in modules on several subjects. The data in each module is presented in ready-to-use format. Users have the option of saving the country views in Excel (or another spreadsheet software) to customize them for their own reports.

GenderStats is updated continuously as new information becomes available. The database is work in progress and its coverage has been expanded to include themes that range from health and education to political participation and poverty. Data sources for GenderStats include national statistics, United Nations databases, and World Bank-conducted or funded surveys.
