Knowledge

2024

The domain of knowledge measures gender inequalities in educational attainment, participation in education and training over the life course, and gender segregation. This domain consists of the following two sub-domains: (1) attainment and participation, and (2) segregation. The sub-domain of educational attainment and participation is measured by the educational attainment rate for women and men, who at least completed short-cycle tertiary education. The second sub-domain targets gender segregation in tertiary education by looking at the percentage of women and men among students in fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programmes. The gender equality index of the knowledge domain is measured on a scale between 0 and 100 points, where 100 is the maximum and indicates the highest level of gender equality in the labour market.
