How this figure is calculated
Repeaters in primary education, all grades, male (number) divided by Population, total, 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, male (number) ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Repeaters in primary education, all grades, male 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.
