Sources of sex-disaggregated data

The collection and analysis of information and data on an area or issue should always be categorized by gender. This is because it allows important inequalities and gender differences to be identified. This document presents several examples of data sources (CSO, MIT, EIGE, Eurostat and OECD) that can be used to map the position of women and men (not only) in the field of entrepreneurship and to identify relevant types of support for women entrepreneurs. For each example data source, the characteristics of the data, the frequency of data collection, whether international comparisons are possible, where the data are freely available and whether the data have any limitations. In addition, attention is given to the relevant variables that comprise the data and the publications that work with these results.
