Abstract
Independent research was commissioned by the Scottish Executive to provide a review of
statistics on gender differences and inequalities in Scotland across a range of key areas of
social and economic life: demographic and population change; participation in political and
public life; education and training; the labour market; income and wealth; care and caring;
health; crime and justice; housing; and transport. The report comments on the extent and
nature of differences and inequalities as indicated by statistical trends, and on changes over
time. Overall, there is evidence both of growing gender equality in certain areas and of
persisting gender inequalities in others.
