Parity indices (female/male, rural/urban, bottom/top wealth quintile and others such as disability status, indigenous people and conflict-affected as data becomes available) for all indicators on this list that can be disaggregated.
Indicator purpose

The purpose of the indicator is as the main measure of equity in education. 

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.

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.

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.
