Commitment Title

Generate open data that is up to date, comparable, accessible and enables the comprehensive analysis of the socio-economic inequality of women and the feminisation of poverty, and ensuring the accessibility and usability of this data

Problem

• Precariousness and gender inequality at every stage of women’s working lives.
• Socio-economic inequalities with a gender perspective.
• Intersection of different factors of inequality (age, capacity, gender, origin/nationality).
• At-risk-of-poverty rate.
• Feminisation of certain sectors.
• Under-representation of women in certain sectors.
• Male violence in the workplace.
• Difficulties in balancing work and family life.
• Part-time work.
• Inequalities in areas with greater power and decision-making capacity.
• Posts with higher levels of responsibility occupied by men.
• Pay gap.
• Pension gap.

Status quo

• Lack of economic data broken down by gender.
• Lack of datasets on the feminisation of poverty.

Action

• Identify and prioritise the indicators that we already have, backgrounds and international recommendations that are needed in order to provide a comprehensive overview and analysis of the issue.
• Identify sources where we can obtain data for the priority indicators (what we have, what we do not have, who the data belongs to, how open it is).
• Open up the data, using an automated process, and make sure it is regularly updated or published in real time, broken down by gender and other intersecting variables (ideally age, diversity/disability, type of family, origin/nationality), and geolocated.
• Organise and identify data that is common to all municipalities, broken down by gender so that it can be made available on a database.
• Carry out a communication campaign and other activities to ensure the data is accessible and promote its use on the part of different groups (public administrations, academia, civil society, citizens, schools, etc.).

How will the commitment contribute to solving the public problem described above?

• Obtain data that enables the analysis of current levels of gender inequality in Catalonia.
• Obtain data that makes it possible to take decisions to correct gender inequality in Catalonia.

What long-term goal as identified in your Open Government Strategy does this commitment relate to?

Long-term vision:

• Open government brings about cultural change, especially within the framework of public administration, and makes it possible to improve upon every public policy.
• A work ecosystem is created in order to foster open government, in the form of a network that operates through structures that are open, shared and pluralistic (in terms of territory, gender, social strata, etc.) so that there is no single body that drags the rest of the organisations along with it; rather, different actors and individuals construct and create meeting spaces or hubs, adopting a communal and coordinated approach to progress.
• An intergenerational, intercultural, gender- and diversity-based perspective is established for all of the processes that take place within the framework of open government.
• Councils in small municipalities are able to carry out tasks and meet requirements related to open government, thereby ensuring territorial balance.
