The United Nations Development Fund for Women 13 Plenary Report Back Synthesis Lorraine
14
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 14 Activity boundaries are not fixed MarketHousehold Non-market Personal Services ??
15
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 15 Key Points Activities can move from market to non- market Activities can move from non-market to market Very few activities cannot move heavy industry stays in market conjugal love stays in the family The same activity could be non-market at one time or for one person and market in another time or for another person
16
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 16 Where are women? Where are men? Market activities Household activities Personal services
17
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 17 Lecture Lorraine
18
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 18 Engendering the Statistical System in Cambodia Gender analysis of activity shifts (changes in division of labour)
19
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 19 Development changes gender-based division of activities Traditional gender roles Men are breadwinners – market Women are housewives & mothers – household Women move into the market Smaller increase in men’s household work Double burden for women: household & family + market Women have less time: for personal services participation in other activities access to programmes & services
20
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 20 Macro-economic policies change gender- based division of labour Macro policies designed to affect the market But may shift activities between market & household Recession/economic liberalization/privatisation cuts in public expenditure cuts in social expenditure – health, education etc Market services replaced by households (women)
21
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 21 Most statistical systems provide limited data on household sector and personal services Therefore, statistical systems Do not capture movement between market & non-market Do not equally capture the activities of women & men
22
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 22 Informal group work Lorraine
23
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 23 Informal group exercise As you are seated, form groups of three and discuss: What are the negative effects when the statistical system does not provide data on: all 3 kinds of activities of both women and men; and the movement between market and households?
24
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 24 Synthesis Lorraine
25
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 25 Statistics must be engendered Engendering requires that statistics 1.Are disaggregated by sex All individual data must be: Presented by sex Analyzed by sex market and non-market activities 2.Cover both market and non-market activities of women and men 3.?? engendered statistics The resulting data can be called engendered statistics
26
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 26 Lecture Lorraine
27
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 27 Engendering the Statistical System in Cambodia Time use surveys provide data on all activities of women and men
28
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 28 Time use data Records time used in various activities Paid work Unpaid work Household maintenance Childcare Rest Personal services Usually collected for 24 hour period Recall method is most useful for developing countries
29
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 29 Time use data provide Background information on household & individual characteristics A comprehensive picture of activities & interactions Classification of activities Contextual variables Can be linked with other data
30
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 30 Sex differences in time use Women tend to do several activities at the same time - experience more time stress than men Women spend more time on non-market household activities than men Men spend more time on economic activities but women’s time in economic activities is increasing Women predominate in unpaid (economic and non economic) activities Women have less time for rest & recreation
31
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 31 Some lessons from time use data Economic crisis & economic reforms often cause an increase in women’s unpaid household activities Most countries lack data on a large part of women’s daily activities Data on time use are necessary to formulate sound national policies Collecting time use data is one way of engendering statistics
32
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 32 Group work Teena - Meta Cards
33
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 33 Small Group Discussion Each participant will write one comment or reaction about time use surveys on a Meta card. Form 5 groups In the groups, discuss your comments and reactions for 10 minutes Choose one significant positive and one significant negative comment/reaction and a reporter to present to the plenary.
34
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 34 Synthesis Lorraine
35
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 35 Time use surveys Increase coverage of statistics system Better coverage of women’s activities Household maintenance Childcare Unpaid family work – agriculture Better coverage of informal sector Can be expensive Do not always need large-scale – case studies Can be integrated with other surveys Need to consider impact on other objectives

42
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 42 Overview NSS is more than the NIS NSS is bigger than the National Accounts NSS is more than the formal data collection & recording systems Much of this data is unused Most of it is gender blind
43
The United Nations Development Fund for Women 43 Inadequacies of national statistical systems Partial Coverage Lacks data on non-market household activities – gender bias Lacks data on movement of activities from one to another sector – gender bias Inadequate base for policy making Existing data is collected & processed through gender-blind processes
