Введение
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.

Gender statistics. General Overview.
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.
