Gender Parity Index, Tertiary Enrolment, 2015

Figures for 2015, 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, 2015 covers 146 countries. Qatar is highest, at 1.86223; Chad is lowest, at 0.29353. The middle country reads 1.19305. Against 2014, 128 values changed (78 up, 50 down), 18 countries joined, 8 left.
