The Little Data Book on Gender
Introduction The Little Data Book on Gender 2009 is a pocket edition of World Development Indicators 2009 with a focus on gender-related statistics. It is intended as a quick reference for users of the World Development Indicators 2009 book and CD-ROM and WDI Online, our electronic subscription database. Together, they cover more than 800 indicators and span more than 40 years. The 209 country tables in The Little Data Book on Gender present the latest available data for World Bank member countries and other economies with populations of more than 30,000. The 14 summary tables cover regional and income group aggregates. For more information about these data or other World Bank data publications, visit our data Web site at www.worldbank.org/data, e-mail us at data@ worldbank.org, call our data hotline 800.590.1906 or 202.473.7824, or fax us at 202.522.1498.

Data notes The data in this book are for 1990 and 2007 or the most recent year unless otherwise noted in the table or the Glossary. •
Growth rates are proportional changes from the previous year unless otherwise noted.
•
Regional aggregates include data for low- and middle-income economies only.
•
Figures in italics indicate data for years or periods other than those specified.
Symbols used: ..
indicates that data are not available or that aggregates cannot be calculated because of missing data.
0 or 0.0
indicates zero or small enough that the number would round to zero at the displayed number of decimal places.
$
indicates current U.S. dollars.
Data are shown for economies with populations greater than 30,000 or for smaller economies if they are members of the World Bank. The term country (used interchangeably with economy) does not imply political independence or official recognition by the World Bank but refers to any economy for which the authorities report separate social or economic statistics. The selection of indicators in these pages includes some of those being used to monitor progress towards the Millennium Development Goals. For more information about the eight goals—halving poverty and increasing well-being by 2015—please visit our Web site www.developmentgoals.org or see World Development Indicators 2009.

Income group tables For operational and analytical purposes the World Bank’s main criterion for classifying economies is gross national income (GNI) per capita. Each economy in The Little Data Book on Gender is classified as low income, middle income, or high income. Low- and middle-income economies are sometimes referred to as developing economies. The use of the term is convenient; it is not intended to imply that all economies in the group are experiencing similar development or that other economies have reached a preferred or final stage of development. Classification by income does not necessarily reflect development status. Low-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $935 or less in 2007. Middle-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of more than $935 but less than $11,456. Lower middle-income and upper middle-income economies are separated at a GNI per capita of $3,705. High-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $11,456 or more. Euro area includes the member states of the Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union that have adopted the euro as their currency: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, and Spain.

Serbia and Montenegro Montenegro declared independence from Serbia and Montenegro on June 3, 2006. When available, data for each country are shown separately. However, some indicators for Serbia continue to include data for Montenegro through 2005. Moreover, data for most indicators from 1999 onward for Serbia exclude data for Kosovo, which in 1999 became a territory under international administration pursuant to UN Security Council Resolution 1244 (1999).

Glossary GNI is gross national income. It is calculated as gross domestic product (GDP) plus net receipts of primary income (employee compensation and investment income) from abroad. GDP is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output. (World Bank) GNI per capita is gross national income (GNI) converted to U.S. dollars using the World Bank Atlas method divided by midyear population. GNI is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output plus net receipts of primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad. GNI, calculated in national currency, is usually converted to U.S. dollars at official exchange rates for comparisons across economies. The World Bank Atlas method is used to smooth fluctuations in prices and exchange rates. It averages the exchange rate for a given year and the two preceding years, adjusted for differences in rates of inflation between the country and the Euro zone, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. (World Bank) Gross primary enrollment is the ratio of total enrollment at the primary level, regardless of age, to the population of the age group that officially corresponds to primary education. (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization Institute for Statistics) Gross secondary enrollment is the ratio of total enrollment at the secondary level, regardless of age, to the population of the age group that officially corresponds to secondary education. (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization Institute for Statistics) Gross tertiary enrollment is the ratio of total enrollment at the tertiary level, regardless of age, to the population of the age group that officially corresponds to tertiary education. (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization Institute for Statistics) Labor force participation is the proportion of the population ages 15 and older that is economically active; that is, people who supply labor for the production of goods and services during a specified period. (International Labour Organization) Life expectancy at birth is the number of years a newborn infant would live if prevailing patterns of mortality at the time of its birth were to stay the same throughout its life. (World Bank staff estimates from various sources including census reports, the United Nations Population Division’s World Population Prospects, national statistical offices, household surveys conducted by national agencies, and Macro International.) Long-term unemployment is people with continuous periods of unemployment extending for a year or longer as a share of the total unemployed. (International Labour Organization) Maternal leave benefits are the percentage of the wage paid during maternity leave. (United Nations)

(United Nations) Population is the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship—except for refugees not permanently settled in the country of asylum, who are generally considered part of the population of their country of origin. (World Bank staff estimates from various sources including census reports, the United Nations Population Division’s World Population Prospects, national statistical offices, household surveys conducted by national agencies, and Macro International) Population living on less than $1.25 a day is the percentage of the population living on less than $1.25 a day at 2005 international prices. (World Bank) Pregnant women receiving prenatal care are the percentage of women attended at least once during pregnancy by skilled health personnel for reasons related to pregnancy. (United Nations Children’s Fund and Macro International) Primary completion rate is the percentage of students completing the last year of primary school.
