Technical Panel Discussion on the Collection of Gender-Relevant Data. Monday April 30, 2012 Ghazala Mansuri
Main issues • What does it take to collect gender relevant data? • What data should we be aiming to collect? • The answer to both questions is highly context dependent • What data we should aim to collect will depend on which questions we need to address as well as the cost of generating the data. • What it takes to collect gender relevant data can vary a great deal due to differences in social norms as well as ease (or lack thereof!) of access to women by survey enumerators • What I will try to do in the next few minutes is to address both questions using examples from various studies I have been involved in over the past many years in Pakistan.
