Figures for 1984, 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, 1984 covers 53 countries. Dominica is highest, at 1.8417; Central African Republic is lowest, at 0.1034. The middle country reads 0.5184. Against 1983, 43 values changed (25 up, 18 down), 10 countries joined, 10 left.
