Enrolment rates and gaps

Explore the average enrolment rates and gaps in enrollment in formal education for the Younger and Older Cohort children, at different ages, across country sites:

Note that the gaps in enrollment can be visualized by gender, location and household wealth. The area of the circle is proportional to the size of the gap (i.e. the bigger the circle, the higher the enrolment gap) with wealth gap being the difference in enrolment between individuals in the top and bottom wealth terciles. For information on how we define these variables and descriptors, please find our data dictionary below.

Label Description
Location Household's location in round 5 (2016) survey. The sentinel sites and communities that households were sampled from in 2016 were defined as urban or rural, based on administrative definitions in each country.
Household wealth Household's wealth in round 5 (2016) survey computed using the Young Lives Wealth Index disaggregated into terciles (top, middle, bottom). The Young Lives Wealth Index is a composite index measuring households' access to services such as water and sanitation, their ownership of consumer durables such as refrigerators, and the quality of floor, roof, and wall materials in their dwelling. Households in each cohort of the Young Lives survey were categorised into terciles based on their wealth index in 2002, with the households with lowest wealth belonging to the bottom tercile, and those with the highest wealth belonging to the top tercile.
