Parity Indices (Female/Male) in Primary Education Enrolment

Definition:

  • Parity Indices (Female/Male) in Primary Education Enrolment is the ratio of the number of female students enrolled at the primary education to the number of male students.
  • Parity Index = (Girls' Enrollment Rate / Boys' Enrollment Rate) x 100
  • A parity index of 100 indicates perfect gender parity, meaning there is an equal number of girls and boys enrolled in primary education. A parity index below 100 suggests that there are fewer girls enrolled than boys, while a parity index above 100 indicates that there are more girls enrolled than boys.
