About this data

Indicator: School life expectancy, primary and lower secondary, gender parity index (GPI)
Unit: GPI
Source: UNESCO Institute for Statistics
Licence: CC BY 4.0 (World Bank Open Data)
Coverage: 233 places, 4,492 data points, 1981–2020
Last refreshed: 21 August 2026

Ratio of female school life expectancy to the male school life expectancy. It is calculated by dividing the female value for the indicator by the male value for the indicator. A GPI equal to 1 indicates parity between females and males. In general, a value less than 1 indicates disparity in favor of males and a value greater than 1 indicates disparity in favor of females.
