My thesis of master is about comparing the performance of the tenth and eleventh governments in increasing gender equality in IRAN. This comparison is based on the seven UN Women Empowerment Principles. What do I use statistical resources?
The UN principles are for business offering guidance on how to empower women in the workplace, marketplace and community. There is a tool that can be used to measure/compare. But is it empowerment in business that you are trying to measure?
The seven Principles:
Establish high-level corporate leadership for gender equality
Treat all women and men fairly at work - respect and support human rights and nondiscrimination
Ensure the health, safety and well-being of all women and men workers
Promote education, training and professional development for women
Implement enterprise development, supply chain and marketing practices that empower women
Promote equality through community initiatives and advocacy
Measure and publicly report on progress to achieve gender equality
If it's based on the seven UN Women Empowerment Principles then you should use secondary data or go through a qualitative research. You can collect the better information then.
