Women and Men in Ireland
Central Statistics Office (CSO).
2004
To conduct a social indicator report to identify important gender differences in the activities of men and women.
The scope of the publication varies from year to year. All new released data that is available with gender breakdown is considered and may be included.
National. Ireland is compared to other EU countries and where available five additional countries (Turkey, Croatia, Macedonia, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland).
The temporal coverage varies. As the publication is a collection of data already published elsewhere, the same time frames are not available everywhere. The report will collate the available data in Q1 of the year following the reference year (eg. For Women and Men in Ireland 2022, the data will be obtained in Q1 2023. In some cases, this will be data from 2022, but the most recently available data from each source will be used.)
Women and Men in Ireland is published by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). The social partnership agreement 2003-2005 requested the CSO to support a move towards more evidence based policy-making. Responding to this request, the National Statistics Board (NSB) asked the CSO to prepare a social indicator report covering all aspects of social statistics. The first gender report was published in 2004.
The report is available to all on the CSO website. It is not specifically provided to data users.
Various organisations who have contacted us in relation to the report include:
- The Women’s Council of Ireland
- Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DECIDY)
- IHREC
- Universities
- The Citizen’s Assembly
- Media.
These indicators have been presented across eight domains for women and men in Ireland. These indicators are European Union Council policy indicators, population; employment; social cohesion and lifestyles; education; health; crime and transport. Under health the following is reported on death rates; medical cards; hospital; mental illness and disability; carers; health personnel.
The indicators are reviewed each publication to ensure that any new indicators or data is captured.
There is no data dictionary available. All data for this report is obtained from other published sources which may have their own data dictionary
Yes, gender is included in every table where applicable. Other equality dimensions will be considered in the upcoming update.
The CSO gathers the data from all sources and compiles the report.
