Abstract
The transport sector has been a pioneer in the quantification and even monetization of
complex issues, such as the value of life or the value of time. Gender issues are more and
more in the core of many policies, but its analysis is usually qualitative at most. The
objective of this paper is to review current quantitative approaches, and highlight their
advantages, their drawbacks and their gaps.
The transport sector can be analysed with a gender perspective, either considering its
workers or its users. In both cases, men and women show different attitudes and
behaviours. To begin with, workforce in transport is predominantly male, while public
transportation is used mostly by women.
There are numerous studies with a gender perspective in the transport sector. Most are
qualitative and simply describe the problem or the project in question. More and more are
using quantitative approaches, but mostly for describing interventions, not for assessing
impacts. In many respects, such as gender violence, there have been notable advances,
despite methodological difficulties. In others, almost nothing can be found. In any case,
evaluations are far from systematic and important gaps remain.
The large experience of the transport sector when dealing with intangible impacts should
facilitate the development of quantitative assessments and evaluations, but the lack of
quantitative ex-post analyses makes it difficult to assess gender-oriented projects.
