Reading overdue·Data to 2023

Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where a new leader takes first place.

Palanor calculation from UNESCO Institute for Statistics data via the World Bank (CC BY 4.0). Above zero, women enroll at a higher rate than men. The latest year differs by country, and countries with too few years of data are left out.

In almost every Latin American and Caribbean country with data, women now enroll in universities at higher rates than men.
