Introduction

1. The present publication provides national statistical agencies and policymakers with guidance on collecting, processing, analysing and disseminating individual-level data on asset ownership for the production of gender statistics related to three objectives: measuring the gender asset gap, or the differential prevalence of women’s and men’s asset ownership; measuring the gender wealth gap, or the differential total wealth held by women and men; and, in households where more than one member is interviewed, understanding how asset ownership and wealth are distributed by gender within households.
