Update to the Gender Equality Strategy Statistical Indicators

At the end of June 2011, the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister’s Research Branch published an update of the Gender Equality Strategy Statistical Indicators.  This document provides a range of gender statistics relating to areas such as education, employment, income, poverty, caring, health, transport, violence, crime, and decision-making roles in Northern Ireland.  The purpose of the indicators is to provide an overview of changes to the relative position of men and women across a range of policy areas, and to facilitate an interim review of the Gender Equality Strategy by providing a broad contextual picture charting trends over time.  This document is available online at: www.ofmdfmni.gov.uk/index/equality/equalityresearch/research-publications/esn-pubs/publications_2011.htm
