Indicator H4 concerns the third strategic objective of area H on Institutional Mechanisms: generate and disseminate gender-disaggregated data and information for planning and evaluation. It is calculated using the following sub-indicators:
The final value of Indicator 1 varies between 0 and 6, and it is the sum of the values for the sub-indicators:
The data collection process started in 2005 with the Finnish Presidency (with the exception of staff training); it was repeated in 2013 (with reference period 31 December 2012), and in 2019 (with reference date 31 December 2018). The data collection can be repeated in subsequent years, based on the methodology provided in the EIGE 2019 report, Annex I.
The results for 2012 and 2018 are comparable to a limited degree over time. This is because the methodology to collect data has changed slightly over time, putting more weight on assessment by independent experts rather than self-assessment by the government where possible. The values should be interpreted with caution, as they present the situation at different points in time, and the specific reasons for changes between these years are not reviewed in detail.
