Figures for 1986, 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, 1986 covers 54 countries. Qatar is highest, at 1.712; Central African Republic is lowest, at 0.112. The middle country reads 0.572. Against 1985, 40 values changed (25 up, 15 down), 14 countries joined, 15 left.
