MEN_INDICE_PARIDAD_POR_GENERO_PARA_ETNICOS

Colombian data on gender parity indices and enrollment counts for ethnic groups in preschool, basic, and secondary education for the year 2020. The dataset is disaggregated by Certified Territorial Entity (ETC) and ethnicity, with columns for specific ethnic groups like Negritudes, Palenquero, Rom, Raizales, and Indígenas. It originates from the Colombian open data portal www.datos.gov.co and was last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze gender parity indices (IPG) across different education levels (PREJ, PRIM, SECUN, MEDIA, TRANS) for ethnic groups using columns like IPG_ETNICO_SI_SECUN and IPG_ETNICO_NO_MEDIA.
• Compare enrollment counts (MATR) by gender and ethnicity, such as MATR_ETNICOS_F_Negritudes and MATR_ETNICOS_M_Raizales, to identify demographic representation gaps.
• Assess educational access by geographic region by joining data on Certified Territorial Entities (CODIGOETC) with parity and enrollment metrics.
• Track enrollment for specific ethnic populations, like the Palenquero or Rom communities, using dedicated columns IPG_MATR_ETNICOS_Palenquero and IPG_MATR_ETNICOS_Rom.

Strengths

• Data is disaggregated by multiple dimensions: gender, ethnicity, education level, and geographic entity (ETC).
• Includes specific metrics for several recognized ethnic groups in Colombia, such as Negritudes, Palenquero, Rom, Raizales, and Indígenas.
• Contains calculated gender parity indices (IPG) alongside raw enrollment counts for comparative analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness require manual inspection after download.
• Data is from a single year (2020), limiting longitudinal analysis without additional datasets.
