Statistics Portugal - Web Portal

The Gender Dossier includes official statistical indicators that make it possible to present, contextualise and help monitor the evolution of inequalities between women and men in Portugal.

The indicators are organised according to themes, components and sub-components, which seek to reflect the different spheres of life of women and men in the family, the economy and society.

The data presented in this dossier covers various information sources, themes, and statistical areas that intersect with multiple areas of public policy.

In terms of content, the selection of sex-disaggregated indicators in the different statistical domains followed concerns determined by sex and/or gender differences according to the criteria described below:

- Areas where there are differences, inequalities and similarities between women and men.
- Areas, where women and men may not benefit from equal opportunities or their lives, may be affected differently.
- Identifying population groups where inequality between women and men is present or more pronounced due to specific characteristics, recognising that the differences between the two intersect with or are even accentuated by other sociodemographic factors.

This dossier is part of the National Strategy for Equality and Non-Discrimination 2018-2030, and is one of the actions of the National Statistical System on Gender Equality project, of which INE is the promoter, funded by the Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area (EEA Grants 2014-2021), under the Gender Equality and Reconciliation Programme.

	National Strategy for Equality and Non-Discrimination- Portugal +Igual - (available only in Portuguese) Within the implementation of the ENIND, new programs will be launched throughout 2018, temporally and substantially aligned with the 2030 Agenda and supported by three main Action Plans that define specific and strategic goals in terms of non-discrimination on the grounds of gender and equality between men and women (IMH); prevention and fight against all forms of violence against women, gender violence and domestic violence (VMVD); ways to fight all forms of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity, transgender and sexual characteristics (OIEC). Moreover, these plans of action define the concrete measures to be implemented in the first period of four years until 2021, followed by a process of revision and redefinition for the following four-year period and so forth. In this context, under the motto ¿No one can be left behind¿, the 2030 Agenda is deeply transformative and a true roadmap for the period concerned, having as a goal the eradication of all structural obstacles to equality between men and women in the national territory and in the development cooperation plan.
