This publication series by the Asian Transport Observatory provides country-level insights into gender dynamics in the transport sector across Asia and the Pacific. It compiles gender-disaggregated data and policy analysis to better understand inequalities and progress in transport systems.

Each profile examines indicators such as women’s participation in the transport workforce, wage gaps, leadership representation, and road safety, alongside national policy frameworks on gender inclusion.

Findings reveal persistent disparities: women remain underrepresented in the transport workforce, and gender considerations are still limited in many policies. The series supports evidence-based policymaking and helps identify pathways toward more inclusive and equitable transport systems.
