| One of the sixteen country profiles on the situation of women and men have published by UNESCAP in 1995-1999. The profiles present available statistical data, information and analysis on women in the family, at work and in public life. The profiles are intended to highlight the areas where action is needed and to raise the consciousness of readers about issues concerning women and men. These profiles are a major component of the activities under the project on improving statistics on women in the ESCAP region, which is funded by the Government of the Netherlands. All of the 16 profiles have already been issued; they are for Bangladesh, China, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Japan, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vanuatu. |
