The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, gener- ates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common problems and to take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities. Note The designations used and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area, or of its authorities, or con- cerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. The term “country” as used in this publication also refers, as appropriate, to territories or areas. The designations “developed regions” and “developing regions” are intended for statistical convenience and do not necessarily express a judgement about the stage reached by a particu- lar country or area in the development process.

The demand for gender statistics has increased over the years owing to inter- national conventions and gender mainstreaming in policies. However, while many national statistical offices have attempted to establish and succeeded in establishing sound gender statistics programmes, additional guidance is needed to improve the availability of data and to ensure a proper mainstreaming of gender issues in all areas of official statistics. These concerns have been reflected in the statistical work of the United Nations. The United Nations Statistics Division has led many of the technical developments in the field of gender statistics since the early 1980s. Over the years, the Division has actively supported gender statistics programmes around the world, providing leadership particularly in the production of technical materials and the compilation of statistics. In an effort to revamp gender statistics programmes around the world, the Division, in collaboration with the United Nations Pop- ulation Fund and the World Bank, established the Inter‐agency and Expert Group on Gender Statistics (IAEG‐GS) in 2006 and has subsequently convened various editions of the Global Forum on Gender Statistics to help to chart the path for further work in this field. The present manual was prepared following the recommendation of IAEG‐GS in 2009 and the request made by the United Nations Statistical Commission at its forty‐second session in 2011(see E/2011/24‐E/CN.3/2011/37). Recognizing that the systematic integration of gender in regular statistical programmes is still missing in many countries, the present manual aims to foster a gender perspective in national statistics. It provides information needed to accomplish three main goals: (a) to achieve a comprehensive coverage of gender issues in data production activities; (b) to incorporate a gender perspective into the design of surveys or censuses, by taking into account gender issues and avoiding gender biases in measurement; and (c) to improve data analysis and data pres- entation and to deliver gender statistics in a format that is easy to use by policymakers and planners. The manual is targeted primarily at statisticians working in less developed national statistical systems. It can also be used as a resource manual for training in gender statistics. The present manual supplements and brings up‐to‐date the extensive work on gender statis- tics carried out by the United Nations and its specialized agencies, other international organi- zations and national statistical offices. The manual acknowledges important milestones in the development of training materials on gender statistics, including the following comprehen- sive manuals: Engendering Statistics: A Tool for Change (Hedman, Perucci and Sundström, 1996); Handbook for Producing National Statistical Reports on Women and Men (United Nations, 1997); and “Developing gender statistics: a practical tool” (United Nations, Eco- nomic Commission for Europe, and World Bank Institute, 2010). The present manual was produced on the basis of collaborative efforts. IAEG‐GS initiated the process of developing the manual and provided guidance on its structure and content. The Statistics Division, with the assistance of Ms. Ionica Berevoescu as consultant to the Divi- sion’s secretariat, prepared the manual. Additional feedback was provided during two regional training workshops, which used materials from the draft manual, held in Kampala in 2012 and in Chiba, Japan, in 2013. The present manual is also available online, in the form of a wiki platform (http://unstats.un- .org/unsd/genderstatmanual). The dedicated wiki platform has been developed in such a way as to ensure a wide reach and distribution to potential users in national statistical offices as well as in other national and international agencies. The flexible design of the platform allows iv Integrating a Gender Perspective into Statistics for frequent updates and enhancement of the content to reflect the most recent developments in gender statistics. v Abbreviation and Acronyms BMI Body mass index CFSVA Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis CWIQ Core Welfare Indicators Questionnaire DHS Demographic and Health Survey EU‐SILC European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions FAO Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations FGM Female genital mutilation GDP Gross domestic product ICT Information and communications technology IFAD International Fund for Agricultural Development ILO International Labour Organization ISCED International Standard Classification of Education ISCO International Standard Classification of Occupations ITU International Telecommunication Union LFS Labour force survey LSMS Living Standards Measurement Study LSMS‐ISA Living Standards Measurement Study – Integrated Survey on Agriculture MICS Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey NGO Non‐governmental organization OECD Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development SNA System of National Accounts UNAIDS Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS UNDP United Nations Development Programme UNECE United Nations Economic Commission for Europe UNESCO United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization UNFPA United Nations Population Fund UNHCR United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees UNICEF United Nations Children’s Fund UNIFEM United Nations Development Fund for Women UNODC United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime UN Women United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women WFP World Food Programme WHO World Health Organization vi Table of Contents Preface ...................................................................................................................... iii Abbreviation and Acronyms ................................................................................... v I.

  • War, Women, Vietnam: the Mobilization of Female Images, 1954-1978
    War, Women, Vietnam: The Mobilization of Female Images, 1954-1978 Julie Annette Riggs Osborn A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: William J. Rorabaugh, Chair Susan Glenn Christoph Giebel Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History ©Copyright 2013 Julie Annette Riggs Osborn University of Washington Abstract War, Women, Vietnam: The Mobilization of Female Images, 1954-1978 Julie Annette Riggs Osborn Chair of the Supervisory Committee: William J. Rorabaugh, History This dissertation proceeds with two profoundly interwoven goals in mind: mapping the experience of women in the Vietnam War and evaluating the ways that ideas about women and gender influenced the course of American involvement in Vietnam. I argue that between 1954 and 1978, ideas about women and femininity did crucial work in impelling, sustaining, and later restraining the American mission in Vietnam. This project evaluates literal images such as photographs, film and television footage as well as images evoked by texts in the form of news reports, magazine articles, and fiction, focusing specifically on images that reveal deeply gendered ways of seeing and representing the conflict for Americans. Some of the images I consider include a French nurse known as the Angel of Dien Bien Phu, refugees fleeing for southern Vietnam in 1954, the first lady of the Republic of Vietnam Madame Nhu, and female members of the National Liberation Front. Juxtaposing images of American women, I also focus on the figure of the housewife protesting American atrocities in Vietnam and the use of napalm, and images wrought by American women intellectuals that shifted focus away from the military and toward the larger social and psychological impact of the war.

  • Consequences of Japan's Occupation of Korea: Document Based Question
    1 CONSEQUENCES OF JAPAN’S OCCUPATION OF KOREA: DOCUMENT BASED QUESTION GRADES: 10th AUTHOR: Brian S. Hussey SUBJECT: AP World History TIME REQUIRED: Two 45 minute Class Periods BACKGROUND: From 1910 – 1945, the Korean peninsula fell under the domination of Japan; first as a protectorate and later as a colony. This era of Korean history is typically divided into three time periods: Subjugation (1910 – 1919): During this time Korean subjugation was brought about by ruthless beatings and violence. The Japanese military was ever-present on the peninsula; enforcing Japan’s colonial claims. As a response to the brutality Koreans organized mass protests, culminating in the March 1st Movement. Accommodation (1920 – 1931): In the wake of the March 1st Movement the Japanese eased their persecution of Koreans. Koreans were allowed freedoms of expression and assembly. Assimilation (1931 – 1945): As the world began building toward World War II the Japanese began compelling Koreans to participate in the war effort. First with Manchuria and China and then with the overall war in the Pacific, Koreans were used as both laborers and soldiers. It is also during this time period that Koreans were forced to take Japanese names, forgo the Korean language, and begin worshiping in Shinto shrines. As a result of Japanese rule, great change came to Korea. Japanese engineers built roads and bridges; Japanese schools brought education to children of both sexes. While Korea’s contact with the outside world had begun in the century leading up to Japan’s domination, Japan accelerated the Hermit Kingdom’s interactions and helped modernize Korea.

  • Being a Woman in China Today: a Demography of Gender
    Special feature China perspectives Being a Woman in China Today: A Demography of Gender ISABELLE ATTANÉ ABSTRACT: The aim of this article is on the one hand, to draw up a socio-demographic inventory of the situation of Chinese women in the prevailing early twenty-first century context of demographic, economic, and social transition, and on the other hand, to draw attention to the paradoxical effects of these transitions whilst taking into account the diversity of the realities women are experiencing. In conclusion, it raises the possibility of changes in gender relationships in China, where there are, and will continue to be, fewer women than men, particularly in adulthood. KEYWORDS: China, demography, gender, status of women, education, employment, demographic masculinity, discrimination against women. I do not think that men and women are on an equal footing. I live in favourable to them, thereby testifying to an unquestionable deterioration a world dominated by men, and I sense this impalpable pressure in certain aspects of their situation. every day.

  • Solomon and Sinatra: the Song of Songs and Romance in the Church Robert Case a Sunday School Class Faith Presbyterian Church Tacoma, Washington 2016
    1 Solomon and Sinatra: The Song of Songs and Romance in the Church Robert Case A Sunday School Class Faith Presbyterian Church Tacoma, Washington 2016 Part 5 “The Good Life” The American Songbook has many songs dealing with singleness and the joys of marriage. A Tin Pan Alley favorite, "The Good Life" was written by Sacha Distel and Jack Reardon in 1962 and made popular in 1963 by the great Tony Bennett. He gained a #18 hit on the U.S. pop chart with it. "The Good Life" has become one of Mr. Bennett's staple songs, and was featured on four of his top-selling albums. He even named his 1998 autobiography, “The Good Life,” and that was after Bennett had taken the cure for his booze and cocaine addiction. The ironic lyrics speak of the so-called “good life” of singleness and freedom, when in fact, the singer tells us the “good life” is really being united with someone who loves you. A “good life” is life with a “good wife,” and you’d be wise to “kiss-off” singleness, Mr. Bennett tells us at the end of the song: “It's the good life, full of fun, seems to be the ideal. Yes, the good life, lets you hide all the sadness you feel. You won't really fall in love for you can't take the chance. So be honest with yourself, don't try to fake romance. Yes, the good life to be free and explore the unknown, like the heartaches, when you learn you must face them alone.

  • WOMEN in WORLD WAR II ADVERTISEMENTS by Caroline Cornell
    THE HOUSEWIFE’S BATTLE ON THE HOME FRONT: WOMEN IN WORLD WAR II ADVERTISEMENTS By Caroline Cornell A 1944 advertisement for Swift’s Beef in Good Housekeeping boldly proclaimed, “Her SEVEN jobs all help win the war!”1 The seven “jobs” were tasks that the Swift Company—as well as the U.S. government— believed that women on the home front should perform in order to aid their country during World War II. Among the tasks promoted by the advertisement were rationing, the growing of “victory gardens,” salvag­ ing and recycling, and the purchasing of war bonds. Though the advertisement claimed that these responsibilities “all help win the war,” each of the jobs described centered around household activities. Despite the fact that the Swift’s Beef advertisement gave agency to American women by claiming they could impact the success of the war, it still emphasized their femininity by giving primacy to the roles of wife and mother and by utilizing an image of a Red Cross volunteer as their “war worker,” not a woman working in the war industry. 1 “Her Seven Jobs Help Win the War,” Swift’s Brands of Beef, Advertisement, Good Housekeeping, January 1944, 15. 28 Caroline Cornell The Good Housekeeping advertisement exemplifies how World War II advertisements not only frequently targeted American women to aid the war effort, but also placed the responsibility of obtaining vic­ tory in the hands of the housewife. To some, this may appear as a surprising contrast to the popular image of “Rosie the Riveter” that tends to dominate modern-day conceptions of the representation of American women during World War II.
