    Kind of Data

    Aggregate data [agg]

    Version

    Version Description

    This is the first release of an international database with summary information on education attainment and enrollment derived from household surveys from around the developing world.

    Version Date

    2010-05-26

    Scope

    Notes

    The database contains the following indicators:

    • Percentage of the population ages 15 to 19 that has completed each grade (grades 1 to 9);
    • Percentage of the population ages 20 to 29 that has completed each grade (grades 1 to 9);
    • Percentage of the population ages 30 to 39 that has completed each grade (grades 1 to 9);
    • Percentage of the population ages 40 to 49 that has completed each grade (grades 1 to 9);
    • Median grade attained by the population ages 15 to 19;
    • Survival function estimates of the proportion of the population ages 6 to 19 that has completed each grade;
    • Percentage of the population ages 6 to 17, by age in single years, that has ever attended school;
    • Percentage of the population ages 6 to 17, by age in single years, that is currently in school;
    • Percentage of the population ages 6 to 11 (as a group) that is currently in school;
    • Percentage of the population ages 12 to 14 (as a group) that is currently in school;
    • Percentage of the population ages 6 to 14 (as a group) that is currently in school.
    • Concentration index (and its standard error) of the percentage of the population ages 15 to 19 that has completed grade 6.
    • Concentration index (and its standard error) of the percentage of the population ages 6 to 14 that is currently in school.

    Each indicator (except the concentration indexes) is calculated for a variety of subgroups within the population. These are:

    • All;
    • Rural and Urban;
    • Male and Female;
    • Rural/Urban and Male/Female interacted;
    • Poverty Quintiles (poorest quintile, quintiles 2, 3, 4 and richest quintile) with welfare rankings derived from an index of consumer durables and housing characteristics;
    • Poverty Groups (Poorest 40 percent; Middle 40 percent; Richest 20 percent) with welfare rankings derived from an index of consumer durables and housing characteristics;
    • The interaction of Poverty Groups and Male/Female

    For surveys with a consumption-expenditures aggregate variable that can be used to rank households (i.e. the Integrated Household Surveys), the following indicators are also calculated:

    • Expenditure Poverty Quintiles (poorest quintile, quintiles 2, 3, 4 and richest quintile) with welfare rankings derived from per capita household consumption-expenditures;
    • Expenditure Poverty Groups (Poorest 40 percent; Middle 40 percent; Richest 20 percent) with welfare rankings derived from per capita household consumption-expenditures;
    • The interaction of Expenditure Poverty Groups and Male/Female
