About this data

Indicator: Survival rate to Grade 5 of primary education, gender parity index (GPI)
Unit: GPI
Source: UNESCO Institute for Statistics
Licence: CC BY 4.0 (World Bank Open Data)
Coverage: 141 places, 2,700 data points, 1970–2018
Last refreshed: 04 September 2026

Ratio of female survival rate to grade 5 to the male survival rate to grade 5. 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.
