Gender Parity Index, Tertiary Enrolment, 2003

Figures for 2003, 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, 2003 covers 118 countries. Anguilla is highest, at 2.00000; Chad is lowest, at 0.11334. The middle country reads 1.14553. Against 2002, 100 values changed (66 up, 34 down), 18 countries joined, 20 left.
