Table 1 Variables in the Research
Category | Variable | Description |
|---|---|---|
Education | Primary School Enrollment Rate-Gross (ratio) | The ratio of total enrollment (regardless of age) to the population of the age group in the level of education shown. It is estimated as a weighted average. Note: Gross enrollment includes students of all ages for a level. Therefore, a high ratio may reflect a large number of overage children enrolled in each level due to repetition or late entry. This number can exceed the official population of students in the age group for the education level. This can lead to ratios above 100%. |
Education | Secondary School Enrollment Rate-Gross (ratio) | |
Education | Tertiary School Enrollment Rate-Gross (ratio) | |
Education | Tertiary School Life Expectancy (Years) | The total number of years of tertiary schooling that a child can expect to receive. |
Education | Adult Education Level Below Secondary (ratio) | The highest level of education completed by the 25–64-year-old population. |
Education | Adult Education Level Upper Secondary (ratio) | |
Education | Adult Education Level Tertiary (ratio) | |
Education | NEET Rate [Age: 15–29] (%) | Those who are not in employment, education, or training (NEET), as a % of the total number in the corresponding age group. |
Education | NEET Rate [Age: 15–19] (%) | |
Education | NEET Rate [Age: 20–24] (%) | |

Health | Infant Mortality Rate (per 1000 live births) | The number of deaths of children under one year of age, expressed per 1000 live births |
Health | Smoking Rate (%) | % of the population aged 15 years and over who report smoking every day. |
Health | Rate of Child Vaccination [Age: 15–19] (%) | Percentage of children who receive the respective vaccination in the recommended timeframe. |
