Figures for 1981, 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, 1981 covers 52 countries. Qatar is highest, at 1.7992; Oman is lowest, at 0.0000. The middle country reads 0.4703. Against 1980, 38 values changed (24 up, 14 down), 14 countries joined, 16 left.
