Gender Indicators

The Gender Division has been established in 2005 as one of the divisions of the Directorate of data mangment in response by the Department of Statistics (DoS) to international commitments ratified by Jordan for establishing a national mechanism for the advancement of women, promotion of their status in economic, social and political participation, preservation of their gains and also defending their rights in order to achieve a greater level of social justice and equal opportunities.

Establishment of this division is viewed as an important step in the development of this kind of statistics in Jordan.

The gender data are collected through the (DoS) surveys and censuses and also from the administrative records by re-calculating the indicators and formulating them in new tables to achieve the goals of the Division. The gender gap is calculated to pinpoint differences between men and women in order to highlight the prevailing situation, so that decision makers take action to reduce these gaps.
