Gender Parity Index, Tertiary Enrolment, 1977

Figures for 1977, 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, 1977 covers 55 countries. Qatar is highest, at 1.762; Chad is lowest, at 0.055. The middle country reads 0.414. Against 1976, 44 values changed (32 up, 12 down), 11 countries joined, 8 left.
