DATA IDENTIFICATION


Name
Parity indices
Indicator purpose

The purpose of the indicator is to measure the general level of disparity between two sub-populations of interest with regard to a given indicator.

Abstract

Parity indices require data for the specific groups of interest. They represent the ratio of the indicator value for one group to that of the other. Typically, the likely more disadvantaged group is placed in the numerator. A value of exactly 1 indicates parity between the two groups.

Other characteristics

This indicator measures the general level of disparity between two sub-populations of interest with regard to a given indicator. The further from 1 the parity index lies, the greater the disparity between the two groups of interest.

DATA CONCEPTS and CLASSIFICATIONS



Classification used

Parity Index represents the ratio value for one group to the other. It is used to measure the general level of disparity between 2 sub-populations of interest with regard to a given indicator.

 

 

 

Parity indices (female/male, urban/rural,) – 2019/2020

Parity indices (bottom/top wealth quintile and others such as disability status, indigenous people) – From Survey

Disaggregation

None because the parity indices directly compare two sub-populations of interest.

Key statistical concepts

The indicator value of the likely more disadvantaged group is divided by the indicator value of the other sub-population of interest.

 

DPI =  [Indi]d

           [Indi]a

where:

DPI         = the Dimension (Sex, Wealth, Location, etc.) Parity Index

Indi        = the Education 2030 Indicator i for which an equity measure is needed.

d             = the likely disadvantaged group (e.g. female, poorest, etc.)

a              = the likely advantaged group (e.g. male, richest, etc.)

OTHER ASPECTS



Recommended uses

This indicator can be used to eliminate gender disparities in education and ensure equal access to all levels of education and vocational training for the vulnerable, including persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples and children in vulnerable situations. 

Limitations

N/A

Other comments

SDG 4.5.1 highlights other equity dimensions, and draws attention to a range of vulnerable groups, including persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples and children in vulnerable situations.
