Notes
Three-colour coding is used to visualize partial grouping of countries by indicator. For each indicator countries are divided into three groups of approximately equal size (terciles): the top third, the middle third and the bottom third. Sex ratio at birth is an exception—countries are divided into two groups: the natural group (countries with a value between 1.04–1.07, inclusive), which uses darker shading, and the gender-biased group (all other countries), which uses lighter shading. See Technical note 6 at http://hdr.undp.org/sites/default/files/hdr2016_technical_notes.pdf for details about partial grouping in this table.
a. The natural sex ratio at birth is commonly assumed and empirically confirmed to be 1.05 male births to 1 female birth.
b. Data are the average of period estimates for 2010-2015 and projections for 2015-2020.
c. Data refer to 2015 or the most recent year available.
d. Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified.
e. Data refer to 2014 or the most recent year available.
f. Refers to 2014.
g. Refers to 2012.
h. Excludes the 36 special rotating delegates appointed on an ad hoc basis.
i. Refers to 2013.

Definitions:
Sex ratio at birth: Number of male births per female birth.
Adolescent birth rate: Number of births to women ages 15–19 per 1,000 women ages 15–19.
Gross enrolment ratio: Total enrolment of girls in a given level of education (pre-primary, primary or secondary), regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the official school-age female population for the same level of education.
Youth unemployment rate, female to male ratio: Ratio of the percentage of the female labour force population ages 15–24 that is not in paid employment or self-employed but is available for work and is actively seeking paid employment or self-employment to the percentage of the male labour force population ages 15-24 that is not in paid employment or self-employed but is availlable for work and is actively seeking paid employment or self-employment.
Maternal mortality ratio: Number of deaths due to pregnancy-related causes per 100,000 live births.
Population with at least some secondary education, female to male ratio: Ratio of the percentage of the female population ages 25 and older that has reached (but not necessarily completed) a secondary level of education to the percentage of the male population ages 25 and older with the same level of education achievement.
Total unemployment rate, female to male ratio: Ratio of the percentage of the female labour force population ages 15 and older that is not in paid employment or self-employed but is available for work and is actively seeking paid employment or self-employment to the percentage of the male labour force population ages 15 and older that is not in paid employment or self-employed but is available for work and is actively seeking paid employment or self-employment.
Share of paid employment in nonagriculture, female: Share of women in paid employment in the nonagricultural sector, which comprises industry and services activities.
Female legislators, senior officials and managers: Share of legislators, senior officials and managers who are female.
Share of seats in parliament: Proportion of seats held by women in the national parliament, expressed as percentage of total seats. For countries with a bicameral legislative systems, the share of seats is calculated based on both houses.
Life expectancy at age 50, female: Additional number of years that a 50-year-old woman could expect to live if prevailing patterns of female age-specific mortality rates stay the same throughout the rest of her life.
Old-age pension recipients, female to male ratio: Ratio of the percentage of women above the statutory pensionable age receiving an old-age pension (contributory, noncontributory or both) to the percentage of men above the statutory pensionable age receiving an old-age pension (contributory, noncontributory or both).
