How this figure is calculated
Repeaters in primary education, all grades, female (number) divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Repeaters in primary education, all grades, female (number) ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Repeaters in primary education, all grades, female UNESCO Institute for Statistics
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
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.
