The Little Data Book on Gender 2019

2019

This data publication, produced by The World Bank Group and derived from the annual World Development Indicators, provides comparable statistics about gender equality for women and men for the years 2000 and 2017 in 217 economies worldwide. Data are included across a range of indicators covering education, health and related services, economic structure, participation and access to resources, public life and decision-making, and agency. The data illustrate notable progress in recent decades toward gender equality—particularly in education and health—but also reveal how gains have been distributed unequally between richer and poorer countries, with low-income countries seeing far less progress for women and girls. The 2019 edition is accompanied by online country tables, which are updated quarterly and allow users to track progress over time, compare country data with regional and global data, and download data tables for further analysis.
