<p><u><strong>Method of Calculation</strong></u><br>
<br><em>Data source specific method of calculation:</em><br>
<br><strong>IPUMS:</strong><br> Ratio of literate women to literate men aged 15+, calculated as the proportion of women age 15 and older who are literate divided by the proportion of men age 15 and older who are literate. A value less than one indicates disparity in favor of men or boys; a value greater than one indicates disparity in favor of women or girls. Literate persons are identified using the IPUMS LIT variable. Censuses provide differing criteria with respect to the level of ability that should constitute literacy. These differences are generally evident in the varying wording of the instructions to the census enumerators. Typically, the instructions appear to be aimed at distinguishing persons who have memorized how to write their signature or recognize certain words from those that can truly write and comprehend text they read. Some samples identify "semi-literate" persons who can read but cannot write in the unharmonized source variables. In all samples those persons are considered illiterate in LIT.<br></p>
