10 Advantages and Disadvantages for Advantages Views of ordinary women Gender comparisons Time comparisons Country comparisons Test relationships among variables Gender Analysis Disadvantages Few individual level indicators for access to basic services Measure perceptions Subjective indicators rather than objective assessments of living conditions or access to services Proxy measures Does not measure perceptions and behavior of female politicians Does not measure gender based violence Question changes Occasional scale changes Not representative of the continent

11 Education Among Women % Secondary Compled Post secondary Secondary What is the highest level of education you have completed? Men tend to have more education than women
