Compilation Guidelines for Measurement of Gender-in-trade Statistics

The Compilation Guidelines for Measurement of Gender-in-Trade Statistics were prepared by UNCTAD for further refinement and application in country pilot studies to assess data availability and gaps, and to compile experimental gender-in-trade indicators. The compilation guidelines reflect on the findings of a pilot carried out in Georgia, and later repeated in Kazakhstan. The guidelines were produced as part of the joint UNCTAD-ECA-ECE United Nations Development Account project “Data and statistics for more gender-responsive trade policies in Africa, the Caucasus, and Central Asia" and are intended to be put to test by any country interested to assess data availability and develop new indicators by reusing data and statistics to provide new insights for a more informed and gender-responsive trade policy. These guidelines will be subject to further refinement and extensions based on the work of countries and other international organizations.
