Gender Parity Index, Tertiary Enrolment, 1973

Figures for 1973, as UIS published them · stored as published, never rewritten

The gender parity index for tertiary enrolment compares women’s and men’s enrolment in universities and colleges. 1 means parity; below 1, fewer women than men are enrolled; above 1, fewer men than women. UNESCO adjusts it so that a gap in either direction counts the same.

Gender Parity Index, Tertiary Enrolment, 1973 covers 54 countries. Bahrain is highest, at 1.5085; Chad is lowest, at 0.0251. The middle country reads 0.3170. Against 1972, 45 values changed (33 up, 12 down), 9 countries joined, 12 left.
