The importance of social protection measures in achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2010, para. 81
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Before designing and implementing a gender-aware social protection policy, States must conduct a comprehensive and disaggregated gender analysis that assesses the vulnerabilities of both genders as potential beneficiaries. The collection of disaggregated data, in terms of both sex and age, is essential not only for the design of effective social protection systems, but also for the unmasking of the gender dynamics that underpin - and often undermine - the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.
