Sex-disaggregated Data

To achieve gender mainstreaming, we have to collect and analyse sex-disaggregated statistics systematically and scientifically when analysing the current situation. It ensures that policies and practices are not based on incorrect assumptions and stereotypes.

The Census and Statistics Department has since 2001 compiled an annual statistical publication "Women and Men in Hong Kong - Key Statistics" to provide objective data on the situations and needs of both genders in various aspects.

The Women’s Commission publishes once every two years the "Hong Kong Women in Figures" which highlights the key statistics of women and men in Hong Kong and exhibits the present position and trends of women’s development in Hong Kong.
