The difference between male and female mean number of years spent in school by age group. It is calculated by subtracting the female value from the male value. Data can be negative if the mean years of schooling for females is higher than for males. Projections are based on collected census and survey data for the base year (around 2010) and the Medium Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP2) projection model. The SSP2 is a middle-of-the-road scenario that combines medium fertility with medium mortality, medium migration, and the Global Education Trend (GET) education scenario.
