Knowledge

2025

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 gross graduation ratio from first degree programmes (ISCED 6 and 7) in tertiary education. The second sub-domain targets gender segregation in tertiary education by looking at the gender decomposition of graduates from 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.
