Figures for 1982, 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, 1982 covers 53 countries. Qatar is highest, at 1.7448; Oman is lowest, at 0.0817. The middle country reads 0.4556. Against 1981, 38 values changed (24 up, 14 down), 15 countries joined, 14 left.
