Gender parity index, percentage of population age 25+ with secondary completed<br></p>
<p><u><strong>Full Name</strong></u><br>
Gender Parity Index (GPI) in percentage of population age 25+ with secondary completed<br></p>
<p><u><strong>Domain</strong></u><br>
Education <br></p>
<p><u><strong>Sub-domain</strong></u><br>
Gender Parity Index<br></p>
<p><u><strong>Definition</strong></u><br>
The ratio of proportion of females age 25+ with at least primary education completed to the proportion of males age 25+ with at least primary education completed.<br></p>
<p><u><strong>Method of Calculation</strong></u><br>
<br><em>Data source specific method of calculation:</em><br>
<br><strong>IPUMS:</strong><br> Calculated as proportion of females with at least secondary education completed divided by the proportion of males with at least secondary completed. 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. Highest level of education completed is measured using the IPUMS EDATTAIN variable. The EDATTAIN variable does not necessarily reflect any particular country's definition of the various levels of schooling in terms of terminology or the number of years of schooling. EDATTAIN is an attempt to merge -- into a single, roughly comparable variable -- samples that provide degrees, ones that provide actual years of schooling, and those that have some of both. The variable is largely comparable across census samples at the broadest levels of schooling--less than primary, primary, secondary, and tertiary.
