Figures for 2011, 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, 2011 covers 134 countries. Qatar is highest, at 1.82598; Chad is lowest, at 0.23930. The middle country reads 1.14953. Against 2010, 120 values changed (60 up, 60 down), 14 countries joined, 13 left.
