New UN modelling estimates lead to increase in school-age population: What are the implications for education indicators?

Soumis par a.dari le Octobre 5, 2023 - 4:13pm

Calculating population-based indicators for monitoring progress towards education goals depends on having reliable and high-quality population data for the number of students at each age-group and education level. The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) uses two sources of population data: administrative data from countries based on observed head count and estimates based on statistical modelling by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) Population Division (UNPD) based on different parameters.
