Primary completion rate, adjusted gender parity index

An adjusted gender parity index of 1 indicates equal primary school completion rates of both females and males. A value less than 1 indicates disparity in favor of males,a value greater than 1 indicates disparity in favor of females.

Note: Adjusted gender parity index (GPI) is calculated by dividing the female indicator value by the male value. To ensure symmetry around 1, when the ratio is greater than 1, the adjusted GPI is calculatedas the ratio of male to female values and the ratio is subtracted from 2.
