The State Statistical Office of North Macedonia as a coordinative authority of the official statistical system recognizes the need for gender statistics and has expressed its commitment to produce and disseminate gender statistics. Despite the efforts invested, gender mainstreaming of the overall national statistics remains fragmented and not yet fully formalized or recognised as a distinct responsibility by all the official data providers within the national statistical system; a centralised coordinative mechanism for national gender statistics is still lacking.
Gender Statistics and Gender Mainstreaming of the Statistical System of North Macedonia – Gender Analysis contains recommendations to address a wider scope of potential improvements toward better gender mainstreaming of the official national statistics and improved cooperation and coordination among key national stakeholders.
