Gender Parity Index, Tertiary Enrolment, 2013

Figures for 2013, 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, 2013 covers 129 countries. Qatar is highest, at 1.84095; Benin is lowest, at 0.38366. The middle country reads 1.20123. Against 2012, 117 values changed (70 up, 47 down), 12 countries joined, 24 left.
