AB The transport sector has been a pioneer in the quantification and even monetization ofcomplex issues, such as the value of life or the value of time. Gender issues are more andmore in the core of many policies, but its analysis is usually qualitative at most. Theobjective of this paper is to review current quantitative approaches, and highlight theiradvantages, their drawbacks and their gaps.The transport sector can be analysed with a gender perspective, either considering itsworkers or its users. In both cases, men and women show different attitudes andbehaviours. To begin with, workforce in transport is predominantly male, while publictransportation is used mostly by women.There are numerous studies with a gender perspective in the transport sector. Most arequalitative and simply describe the problem or the project in question. More and more areusing quantitative approaches, but mostly for describing interventions, not for assessingimpacts. 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 shouldfacilitate the development of quantitative assessments and evaluations, but the lack ofquantitative ex-post analyses makes it difficult to assess gender-oriented projects.
