Statistical terms DefinitionExamples ConceptA statistical concept is a characteristic of a time series or an observation. For example, ‘unemployment’, ‘birth’, and ‘tertiary enrolment’ are all concepts. To be measured accurately and consistently, concepts must have clear definitions. Unemployment Live births Children Marriage VariableA variable is a characteristic of a unit being observed that may assume more than one of a set of values to which a numerical measure or a category from a classification can be assigned Income Age Weight Occupation Industry Cause of death PopulationThe set of elements about which information is wanted and estimates are required total number of people in a country or town Youth (aged 15-24) married/partnered women aged IndicatorAn indicator is a measure that signals the state or level of something. It represents statistical data for a specified time, place, and other characteristics. Indicators combine concepts, variables and populations to create a particular measure. Total Fertility Rate (average number of children per woman) Percentage of government budget spent on education Hourly gender pay gap Share of women in national parliament

Gender indicators - identify Proportion of women/men aged 15‐49 years, subjected to psychological violence in the past 12 months by the intimate partner Average hours spent in own‐use production work, by sex Employment rate of 25‐64 year‐olds, by sector of the economy and sex Share of females among graduates in science, engineering, manufacturing and construction Concept(s) Variable(s) Population(s)

Percentages, rates, ratios, etc. Some examples

Proportion or percentage Number of observations in a given category, relative to the total number… Most often, proportions are expressed in percentages

Ratios Relationship of one number to another by division Expresses the relative size of two numbers How many times one number contains the other Common examples sex ratio: the number of males per 100 females student to teacher ratio: number of students for every teacher

Rates Rates are used to study the dynamics of change Demographic rates such as fertility rates and mortality rates

Activity: practice calculating rates

Employment rates: % of female population who are employed % of male population who are employed

Activity: practice calculating rates 1.Which has the highest employment rate for men? 2.Which country has the highest employment rate for women? 3.Where are the employment rates the lowest? 4.Where is the gender gap between men and women the greatest?
