countries in a straightforward, country-by-country reference on demography,
education, health, labor force, political participation, and the Millennium
Development Goals. Summary pages that cover regional and income group
aggregates are also included.
This second issue of The Little Data Book on Gender coincides with the
launch of the World Development Report 2012, the Bank's annual flagship
publication. This year's report looks at the facts and trends surrounding the
various dimensions of gender equality in the context of the development
process: although many women around the world continue to struggle with
gender-based disadvantages, much has changed for the better and at a
more rapid pace than ever before. But that progress needs to be expanded,
proctected, and deepened. While development has closed some gender gaps,
other gaps persist, including excess deaths of girls and women, disparities in

voice in households and society. The report argues that gender equality can
enhance productivity, improve development outcomes for the next generation,
and make insitutions more representative. For more information about this
landmark report, visit www.worldbank.org/wdr2012.
As part of its strategy to provide content when, where, and how users want it,
the World Bank now offers two new electronic products on gender. The World
TM Development Report 2012 mobile application for the iPad allows users to
browse and search the report by key message, keyword, topic, region, and
more. Overviews in multiple languages and other relevant content round out
the mobile application. Visit bit.ly/wdr2012app for more information. And for
those interested in mapping and graphing gender statistics, the new eAtlas
of Gender allows users to map and graph dozens of gender indicators over
time and across countries, and compare maps for two different indicators,
countries, regions, or years. Visit data.worldbank.org/atlas-gender.
The Little Data Book on Gender 2011 vData notes
The data in this book are for 1990, and 2009 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.
Lettered notes on some country tables can be found in the Notes o n p a g e 2 3 3 .
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 toward the Millennium Development Goals. For
more information about the eight goals—halving poverty and increasing
well-being by 2015—please see the other books in the World Development
Indicators 2011 family of products.
