Gender inequalities remain a persistent problem in the UK. The availability of gender or sex disaggregated data is critical for policy, research, and advocacy to understand and address these inequalities, yet at present there remain significant data gaps. The UK census provides a once-in-a-decade opportunity to address these gaps by leveraging population data at different geographical levels and protected characteristics.The proposed work will facilitate the discovery and use of census data for gender equality analysis across UK local areas, while demonstrating how they help bridge gender data gaps. The funding will allow a range of new users to engage in activities that promote awareness of the wide variety of multivariate census data for such analyses.Building on our expertise, we will deliver activities and resources in line with the funding call:training and networking related to the use of census data infrastructure for gender equality analysis and to address gender data gaps.guidance on how to use census data for gender equality research and advocacy.research-ready and linked dataset measuring spatial variation in gender equality levels across the UK.communications and engagement to facilitate the use of data for gender equality analysis, particularly across the UK censuses collectively.The Global Institute for Women's Leadership (GIWL) will deliver these in partnership with the Women's Budget Group, who run the Local Data Project aimed at strengthening the capacity of women's organisations for using data for advocacy. In May 2023, we co-hosted an event on the potential of the England/ Wales census 2021 in bridging the gender data gap. The morning panel was attended by 112 representatives from the women's sector, research/policy community, and public with over 1,100 views online. In the afternoon, we delivered a data workshop with 30 delegates from women's organisations. The attendance and feedback signal great appetite for additional workshops to explore the census data from a gender perspective.The ESRC funds will be used to run in-person workshops across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland targeting women's organisations, local authorities, and early-career academics to support analysis of gender and regional inequalities. Our proposal is unique in two ways. Firstly, we offer an explicitly gendered perspective on census data to engage new users who have less data analysis experience and are therefore less aware of the value of the census for understanding gender and regional inequality in the UK. Secondly, we will offer access and a demonstration of a new research-ready dataset currently being created by GIWL to measure gender equality levels across UK local areas. This dataset draws heavily on the UK census, exemplifying how these data can be combined with survey and administrative data for social science research.We will produce targeted user guidance that will be publicly accessible on our website, along with the new research-ready dataset. Further, we will deliver workshops to international organisations specialising in gender equality indices to promote the strength of the UK data landscape and demonstrate how national censuses can be used to create subnational indices.

在英国，性别不平等仍然是一个持久的问题。性别或性别分类数据的可用性对于理解和解决这些不平等的政策，研究和倡导至关重要，但目前仍然存在很大的数据差距。英国的人口普查提供了一个十任意的机会，通过利用不同地理位置和受保护特征的人口数据来解决这些差距。拟议的工作将有助于发现和使用普查数据，以在英国跨英国地区进行性别平等分析，同时证明它们如何帮助弥合了性别数据差距。资金将使一系列新用户能够从事这种分析的多种多元人口普查数据的认识。建立我们的专业知识，我们将提供与资金呼叫的活动和资源，符合培训和网络：与普查数据基础结构相关的培训和网络，以进行性别等价数据，以补充性别数据和性别数据gaps。倡导。准备的和链接的数据集测量整个英国性别平等水平的空间变化。与妇女领导层（GIWL）的全球妇女领导能力（GIWL）共同促进妇女的预算小组的合作伙伴关系，妇女领导层将使用这些妇女的妇女的企业企业促进数据，该项目将涉足该计划的生产计划，以促进这些妇女的能力，以促进这些妇女领导能力，以促进全球妇女领导能力，以促进性别平等分析，尤其是整个英国的人口普查。 2023年5月，我们共同主持了一项关于英格兰/威尔士人口普查2021的潜力，以弥合性别数据差距。来自妇女部门，研究/政策界的112名代表参加了早晨小组，在线观看了1,100多个观看次数。下午，我们与女性组织的30位代表一起提供了一个数据研讨会。出席和反馈信号对其他研讨会的兴趣很大，可以从性别角度探索人口普查数据。ESRC资金将用于在英格兰，威尔士，苏格兰和北爱尔兰的妇女组织，地方当局，地方当局以及早期护理学者来支持性别和区域的分析分析。我们的建议在两种方面都是独一无二的。首先，我们对人口普查数据提供了明确的性别观点，以吸引那些具有较少数据分析经验的新用户，因此较少了解人口普查的价值，以了解英国的性别和地区不平等。其次，我们将提供GIWL目前正在创建的新研究数据集的访问权限，以衡量整个英国本地地区的性别平等水平。该数据集大量借鉴了英国的人口普查，体现了如何将这些数据与社会科学研究的调查和管理数据结合在一起。我们将提供有针对性的用户指导，这些指导将在我们的网站上公开访问，以及新的研究数据集。此外，我们将向专门从事性别平等指数的国际组织举办研讨会，以促进英国数据格局的实力，并展示如何使用国家人口普查来创建次国家指数。
