UNFPA and ESCWA Statistics Division are inviting a gender statistician from the National Statistical Office, and a gender expert from a government agency/ministry in charge of women's issues to participate in the TRAINING ON GENDER ANALYSIS OF CENSUS DATA, AMMAN, 10-12 February 2013.  The Workshop will be held at the Amman Marriott Hotel in Jordan.  The morning sessions will start at 08:30 a.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m. in Al WAHA BALLROOM.

The objectives of the training are the following:

    - Familiarize the participants with the challenges and opportunities of constructing gender indicators from census data.
        - Provide guidance on the compilation of gender monographs from census data.
        - Provide guidance on more complex analyses of census data using multivariate methods and their interpretation.
        - Confront and possibly adapt/complement the material thus far developed with the realities of the ESCWA region.

The focus of the training is on the analysis of existing data bases from the 2010 round of Population Censuses, including some discussion of questionnaire design for gender issues.
