The SDD, the Palau Bureau of Budget and Planning and the Social Development Programme (SDP) Gender Statistics Advisor have supported the Palau Ministry of Culture and Community Affairs to produce a gender profile from the 2013/2014 HIES. The profile uses sex disaggregated HIES statistics to analyse differences, as well as similari¬ties, between Palauan women and men in terms of economic activity, wage and salary income, access to communications, and household (HH) income, expenditure and amenities. SDD and SDP will be supporting other Pacific island countries (PICs) to produce HIES gender profiles in 2016.
