Gender (GPI), Location (LPI), Social Economic Status (SES), Immigration and Language and Parity indices for educational indicators

Parity indices represent the ratio of indicator value for one group to that of the other. For instance, the gender parity index considers the parity between men and women. Typically, the likely more disadvantaged group is placed in the numerator. A value of exactly 1 indicates parity between the two groups.
