Preface
The Gender perspective is imperative to formulate and enforce a holistic, inclusive and non-discriminatory regime of policies. As an indispensable prelude to this end, the “Compendium onGender Statistics 2004” presents gender disaggregated data on population, education, health,family planning, employment and public representation. Besides, international comparison of some important gender sensitive indicators has also been included to provide for collective self-reflection.This document is an up-date of its maiden predecessor of 1998, prepared in accordance with UNstandards and international practices, under the financial and technical assistance of the AsianDevelopment Bank. Despite no project facilitation and, exclusive reliance on mail inquiry, allpossible efforts have been made to collect the latest available data from the sources.I am thankful to Dr. France Donnay, the Representative of UNFPA who kindly agreed to providesupport in publishing this document and hope that the database developed in Federal Bureau of Statistics would be useful for the researchers, policy makers and students to help underpin ananalytical framework in the pursuit of an all-inclusive and non-discriminatory polity and economyof Pakistan.Comments and suggestions for improvement would be welcome and highly appreciated..ASAD ELAHISecretaryStatistics DivisionGovernment of PakistanIslamabad, 2006
