Figures for 1987, 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, 1987 covers 51 countries. Qatar is highest, at 1.7529; Tanzania is lowest, at 0.1405. The middle country reads 0.6191. Against 1986, 40 values changed (26 up, 14 down), 11 countries joined, 14 left.
