dc.description.abstractThis detailed brief explores the gender data gap in mortality reporting systems through civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems worldwide. It describes differences in death registration for males and females, as well as the quality of cause of death (COD) assigned to these by physicians. Women and men are not equal when it comes to health outcomes anywhere in the world. Understanding these differences is essential for designing and implementing policies that aim to reduce gender inequities. Lack of sex-disaggregated data has resulted in an incomplete picture of women’s and men’s health, and the gaps that persist between them.en
