MEN_INDICE_PARIDAD_POR_GENERO_MATRICULA

A dataset from Colombia's Ministry of National Education (MEN) containing gender parity indices and enrollment figures for preschool, basic, and secondary education for the year 2020. Data is disaggregated by certified territorial entities (ETCs) and their respective departments. The dataset includes 20 columns covering enrollment counts by gender and education level, as well as calculated parity indices.

Use Cases

• Analyze gender parity trends across education levels (pre-school, primary, secondary, media) using IPG_MATR_PREJ, IPG_MATR_PRIM, IPG_MATR_SEC, IPG_MATR_MEDIA, and AÑO.
• Compare male and female enrollment numbers by territorial entity using MATR_MASC_PRIM, MATR_FEM_PRIM, MATR_MASC_SEC, MATR_FEM_SEC, and ETC.
• Map enrollment and parity data to administrative departments using CODIGODEPARTAMENTO, DEPARTAMENTO, and CODIGOETC for geospatial analysis.
• Assess enrollment distribution across the transition year using MATR_MASC_TRANS and MATR_FEM_TRANS columns.

Strengths

• Data is disaggregated by 20 distinct columns, including territorial codes and specific education levels.
• Focuses on a single year (2020), providing a consistent temporal snapshot for analysis.
• Includes calculated gender parity indices (IPG) alongside raw enrollment counts for direct analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Data is from 2020, and freshness should be verified for current analyses.
