Rapid Gender Assessment Surveys, 2021 - Pakistan

Abstract
---------------------------

Shortly after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, evidence showed the consequences of the crisis spanned well beyond its direct health effects. Across Asia and the Pacific, COVID-19 impacted outcomes ranging from access to health care, to employment and income, and women were often at a disadvantage. Two years on, the pandemic continues affecting women and men, and its lingering effects remain gendered. Ample evidence is now available on the effects on women-dominated sectors, such as tourism, and types of work, such as informal jobs, as well as on women's unpaid care work responsibilities. Women are also encountering more barriers to access stimulus packages to stay out of poverty.

In response to these concerns and to design effective responses to the crisis, the demand for gender data has increased. In the past few months, UN Women Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific and the Asian Development Bank rolled out Rapid Gender Assessment Surveys in consultation with national governments.

These surveys also include the eight FIES questions to understand the food security situation in the countries where the surveys have been run. However, it is important to note that these surveys are not identical to the FIES surveys, which are conducted by FAO.

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

The RGAs were rolled out in Pakistan (n = 3,636), following a Random Digit Dialling (RDD) method, using numbering plans from national telecommunications agencies, which excluded commercial numbers and business registers. Prior to data collection, the sample was pulsed (a signal was sent to the randomly generated number to verify if it exists). No landlines were considered for this exercise. Information on socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents was unknown prior to dialling, and thus screening questions were used to achieve sex, age, region and education quotas. The quotas were calculated utilizing national household survey and population census data. Mobile phone coverage was above 70 per cent in most countries considered, with differences based on sex, age, educational attainment, and location.

摘要
---------------------------
COVID-19疫情爆发之初，便有证据表明，这场危机的后果远超其直接的健康影响。在亚洲及太平洋地区，COVID-19对医疗保健、就业与收入等方面产生了广泛影响，女性往往处于不利地位。两年后，疫情对男女两性仍持续产生影响，其持久效应亦呈现性别差异。目前，关于女性主导行业（如旅游业）、工作类型（如非正式工作）以及女性无偿照顾工作责任等方面的效应已有大量证据。女性在获取刺激计划以摆脱贫困方面也面临着更多的障碍。
为应对这些关切并设计有效的应对措施，对性别数据的需求数量不断增加。在过去几个月中，联合国妇女亚太区域办公室与亚洲开发银行在各国政府的协商下，推出了快速性别评估调查。
这些调查还包含了八个FIES问题，以了解已开展调查的国家中的粮食安全状况。然而，值得注意的是，这些调查与由联合国粮食及农业组织（FAO）实施的FIES调查并不相同。

抽样程序

快速性别评估调查在巴基斯坦（n = 3,636）实施，采用随机数字拨号（RDD）方法，利用国家电信机构的编号计划，排除了商业号码和商业登记信息。在数据收集之前，样本进行了脉冲测试（向随机生成的号码发送信号以验证其是否存在）。本次调查未考虑固定电话。在拨打电话之前，受访者的社会经济特征信息未知，因此使用了筛选问题以实现性别、年龄、地区和教育配额。配额的计算基于国家家庭调查和人口普查数据。在大多数考虑的国家中，移动电话覆盖率超过70%，差异取决于性别、年龄、教育程度和地理位置。
