Statistical Brief: Statistical Indicators on Women: An Asian Perspective
Report Number SB/93-18
The developing nations of Asia (east of Iran) and the Pacific are home to the majority of the world’s women. The state of women in this part of the world varies widely from country to country. This Brief looks at the demographic and socioeconomic state of women in 32 developing Asian and Pacific Island nations or areas. It examines how their situation has changed in recent decades and, when appropriate, how it compares to that of men. Data come from the International Data Base, housed at the Census Bureau’s Center for International Research.
