The main requirement for the production and dissemination of statistics that reflect the realities of women and men is that users and producers work together to identify the issues to be addressed and the necessary statistical output ” (1) The seminar on Gender statistics follows a trend set in earlier seminars organised by the CEIES subcommittee on Social Statistics to discuss in depth social issues that require input from various statistical fields. Precursors are the seminar on Social Exclusion (1999), Education and Training Statistics and the Functioning of the Labour Market (2000), Life Long Learning (2001) Active Ageing Statistics (spring 2002), Labour Market Statistics – towards enlargement (autumn 2002) and Social Protection Statistics (autumn 2003). This seminar will cover the extent, causes and consequences of occupational segregation with the aim of - bringing together data users and producers to discuss users’ request, data availability, statistical lacunae, limitations of currently available data and their treatment in the light of new policy needs and priorities; - considering what can be done to respond more effectively to the changing needs and policy context in the future. The seminar is addressed to those producing and using systematic information on gender inequality in relation for instance with the labour market and informal care, and for those who are involved in general gender and emancipation monitoring initiatives. What is CEIES? CEIES stands for Comité consultatif européen de l’information statistique dans les domaines économique et social; in English: ‘The European Advisory Committee on Statistical Information in the Economic and Social Spheres’. Its task is to assist the Council and the Commission in the co-ordination of the objectives of the Community’s statistical information policy, taking into account user requirements and the costs borne by the information producers. The committee was set up by Council Decision 91/116/EEC of 25 February 1991. The original decision was amended by Council Decision 97/255/EC of 19 April 1997 taking into account the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden. CEIES is chaired by the Commissioner responsible for statistics. The vice-chairman is Mr Ulrich Heilemann from Germany. CEIES is composed of two private members per Member State, three members from the European Commission, the Chairman of the Committee on Monetary, Financial and Balance of Payments Statistics (CMFB) and the Presidents or Directors-general of the National Statistical Institutes of the Member States.

  • Statistical Confidentiality and Access to Microdata
    UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE STATISTICAL CONFIDENTIALITY AND ACCESS TO MICRODATA Proceedings of the Seminar Session of the 2003 Conference of European Statisticians UNITED NATIONS UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE STATISTICAL CONFIDENTIALITY AND ACCESS TO MICRODATA Proceedings of the Seminar Session of the 2003 Conference of European Statisticians UNITED NATIONS NEW YORK AND GENEVA 2003 Note The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations. FOREWORD At the 51st plenary session of the Conference of European Statisticians (CES) held in Geneva, 10-12 June 2003, one of the two seminars was devoted to the issue of statistical confidentiality and access to microdata. This seminar was organized and chaired by Statistics Sweden in cooperation with the CES Bureau. Since the seminar was regarded as very fruitful, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and Statistics Sweden decided to make a joint publication of the proceedings of the seminar. The Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics, adopted by the Economic Commission for Europe in 1992, include a principle, according to which “Official statistics provide an indispensable element in the information system of a democratic society…”. Furthermore “…individual data collected by statistical agencies for statistical compilation, whether they refer to natural or legal persons, are to be strictly confidential and used exclusively for statistical purposes”. When discussing microdata, the main challenge for statistical offices is to ensure that the improved access to microdata will not undermine the confidentiality principle, both in reality and in the perception of the public and respondents to statistical surveys.

  • Celebrating the Establishment, Development and Evolution of Statistical Offices Worldwide: a Tribute to John Koren
    Statistical Journal of the IAOS 33 (2017) 337–372 337 DOI 10.3233/SJI-161028 IOS Press Celebrating the establishment, development and evolution of statistical offices worldwide: A tribute to John Koren Catherine Michalopouloua,∗ and Angelos Mimisb aDepartment of Social Policy, Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, Athens, Greece bDepartment of Economic and Regional Development, Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, Athens, Greece Abstract. This paper describes the establishment, development and evolution of national statistical offices worldwide. It is written to commemorate John Koren and other writers who more than a century ago published national statistical histories. We distinguish four broad periods: the establishment of the first statistical offices (1800–1914); the development after World War I and including World War II (1918–1944); the development after World War II including the extraordinary work of the United Nations Statistical Commission (1945–1974); and, finally, the development since 1975. Also, we report on what has been called a “dark side of numbers”, i.e. “how data and data systems have been used to assist in planning and carrying out a wide range of serious human rights abuses throughout the world”. Keywords: National Statistical Offices, United Nations Statistical Commission, United Nations Statistics Division, organizational structure, human rights 1. Introduction limitations to this power. The limitations in question are not constitutional ones, but constraints that now Westergaard [57] labeled the period from 1830 to seemed to exist independently of any formal arrange- 1849 as the “era of enthusiasm” in statistics to indi- ments of government....

Projektledare: Madeleine Nilsson, [email protected], Region Skåne. Projektledare för Skånes del i OECD TR Megaregion Western Scandinavia 1 Foreword Region Skåne and the City of Helsingborg, together with partners in Western Sweden and the Oslo region, have commissioned the OECD to conduct a so-called Territorial Review of the Megaregion Western Scandinavia. A review of opportunities and potential for greater integration and cooperation between the regions and cities in Western Scandinavia. This report is a brief summary of the supporting data submitted by Skåne to the OECD in December 2016 and mainly contains regional trends, strengths and weaknesses. The report largely follows the arrangement of all the supporting data submitted to the OECD, however, the policy sections have been omitted. All the data sets have been produced by a number of employees of Region Skåne and the City of Helsingborg. During the spring, corresponding reports have been produced for both Western Sweden and the Oslo region. The first study mission was conducted by the OECD in January 2017, where they met with experts and representatives from Skåne and the Megaregion. In late April, the OECD will be visiting Skåne and the Megaregion again with peer reviewers from Barcelona, Vienna and Vancouver for a second round of study mission. The OECD’s final report will be presented and decided upon within the OECD Regional Development Policy Committee (RDPC) in December 2017, and subsequently the OECD Territorial Review Megaregion Western Scandinavia will be published.

  • Barriers to Women's Employment and the Extent
    BARRIERS TO WOMEN’S EMPLOYMENT AND THE EXTENT OF GENDER INEQUALITY IN THE LABOUR MARKET IN TURKEY Çiğdem Gedikli A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of East Anglia Norwich Business School SEPTEMBER 2015 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. i ABSTRACT This thesis investigates gender inequalities in employment outcomes in Turkey in the context of low employment rates of women, occupational gender segregation and gender wage differentials. The first empirical chapter of the thesis sheds light on the role of traditional or conservative social norms and culture on women’s employment in Turkey based on the data for the years 1998 and 2008. It provides evidence that traditional and conservative values, increasingly, reduce women’s likelihood of waged employment and they are also associated with an increased probability of women being in the informal segment of the labour market, either as unpaid family workers or informal waged workers. The second substantive chapter of the thesis points to the extent of occupational gender segregation in Turkey. It shows that women are more likely to be employed in lower-paid jobs and in lower ranked occupations, whereas men remain at an advantaged position both in terms of pay levels or the positions of the occupations they hold in the social hierarchy.

  • The Effects of Family Status and Occupational Segregation Anna
    ABSTRACT Prestige Inequality: The Effects of Family Status and Occupational Segregation Anna Nicole Garland, M.A. Thesis Chairperson: Robyn L. Driskell, Ph.D. Wage inequality has been extensively studied in the social sciences, but few researchers have studied prestige inequality. This paper looks not only at prestige and wage inequality between genders, but also within genders, specifically investigating the effects of family status and occupational segregation. Using both occupational prestige and log of income as dependent variables in a variety of regressions, educational attainment, family characteristics, as well as workplace characteristics emerge as important variables in predicting occupational prestige and income. The main finding of this study is that inequality of both wages and prestige is perpetuated not only by innate characteristics, such as gender, but also through socio-demographic characteristics, such as marital status, children, and educational attainment. An individual’s career path also attributes to higher or lower prestige. The most logical explanation for this variance in prestige and income is that employers use stereotypes, assumptions, and expectations to guide their hiring practices.
