“…This is particularly the case for gender-based analyses and policy-making. As Razavi [7] notes "In the end, while six of the 17 goals include gender-specific indicators, the indicator framework under five of the goals can be described as 'gender-sparse' (Goals 2, 10, 11, 13 and 17) and for the remaining six critical areas it is depressingly 'gender-blind' (Goals 6, 7, 9, 12, 14 and 15) [8]." The reasons for this apparent gender neglect are many and diverse but one of the simplest explanations is that gender as a category of analysis is difficult to constrain in simple indicator-based systems, more so for systemic issues like climate change urban planning and transport.…”

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) specifies gender equality and sustainable development as their two central priorities. An area of critical importance for sustainable and gender-fair development is mobility and transport, which has so far been neglected and downplayed in research and policy making both at the national and global levels. Rooted in the history of the topic and the emerging ideas on smart, green and integrated transport, this paper presents a literature review of on gender and transport in the low- and middle-income countries. The paper presents a host of cross-cutting topics with a concentrated focus on spatial and transport planning. The paper further identifies existing research gaps and comments on the new conceptualizations on smart cities and smart mobilities in the Global South. Due attention is paid to intersections and synergies that can be created between different development sectors, emerging transport modes, data and modeling exercises, gender equality and sustainability.

ICT has been long recognized as a driver of sustainable development goals (SDGs). This study examines the relationship between ICT, gender (in)equality (SDG 5), and income inequality (SDG 10). We conceptualize ICT as an institutional actor and use the Capabilities Approach to theorize the relationships between ICT, gender inequality and income inequality. This study uses publicly available archival data to conduct a cross-lagged panel analysis of 86 countries from 2013 to 2016. The key contributions of the study include the establishment of the relationship between (a) ICT and gender inequality and (b) gender inequality and income inequality. We also make methodological contributions to the field by employing cross-lagged panel data analysis to further our understanding of the links between ICT, gender equality, and income inequality over time. Our findings have implications for both research and practice, which are discussed.

“…Despite many constraints, the SDG GIF was assembled in record time. Nevertheless, critics of the SDG indicators have criticised them for being reductionist and of watering down the ambition of the goals and targets (Fukuda-Parr and McNeill 2019;Engle Merry 2019;Razavi 2019). Yet statistics are by definition reductionist.…”

AbstractIn March 2017, the United Nations (UN) Statistical Commission adopted a measurement framework for the UN Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, comprising of 232 indicators designed to measure the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their respective 169 targets. The scope of this measurement framework is so ambitious it led Mogens Lykketoft, President of the seventieth session of the UN General Assembly, to describe it as an ‘unprecedented statistical challenge’.Naturally, with a programme of this magnitude, there will be foreseen and unforeseen challenges and consequences. This article outlines some of the key differences between the Millennium Development Goals and the SDGs, before detailing some of the measurement challenges involved in compiling the SDG indicators, and examines some of the unanticipated consequences arising from the mechanisms put in place to measure progress from a broad political economy perspective.
