Gender Parity Index, Tertiary Enrolment, 1992

Figures for 1992, 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, 1992 covers 51 countries. Qatar is highest, at 1.8310; Guinea is lowest, at 0.0693. The middle country reads 0.7232. Against 1987, 28 values changed (19 up, 9 down), 23 countries joined, 23 left.
