How this figure is calculated
Enrolment in secondary education, female (number) divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Enrolment in secondary education, female (number) ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Enrolment in secondary education, female UNESCO Institute for Statistics
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
