GenderStats
GenderStats is an electronic database of gender statistics and indicators designed with user-friendly, menu-driven features. It offers statistical and other data in modules on several subjects. The data in each module is presented in ready-to-use format. Users have the option of saving the country views in Excel (or another spreadsheet software) to customize them for their own reports.

Gender Gap Features

	His Brain, Her Brain It turns out that male and female brains differ quite a bit in architecture and activity. Research into these variations could lead to sex-specific treatments for disorders such as depression and schizophrenia
	Is the Glass Half Full or Half Empty? A conference celebrates the advances of the past 25 years and examines why disparities still persist
	Women and the Professions Of the 21 million professional jobs in the U.S., women hold 53 percent, but most of these are in fields that generally pay only moderately well, such as public school teaching and nursing. Of the eight million or so jobs in the better-paying professions-those with an average compensation of more than $40,000 in 1998-women hold only 28 percent.
