Precision
The headline is stored to 16 decimals, as published.
Rounded by this site
Never. Tables on screen may show fewer decimals; the files never do.
Changed by this site
Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.
From the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (FOSGP.5T8.F600). Editions reporting fewer than 50 countries are not written. The same share among women graduates and among men graduates is stored beside the headline.
