Azerbaijan: Children out of school, primary, female

Key figures

Over five years it is down 99.62% from 21,341 in 2019 (67.2% a year on average, compounded). Since 2000 it is down 99.74% from 31,351 in 2000 (21.99% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 3 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.

What the numbers say

In 2024, Azerbaijan's children out of school, primary, female fell 98.6% on 2023 (from 5,710 to 81).

Across the 19 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2023), the average change was +8.9% and a typical year strayed about 68.5% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.6 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 259.1% in 2018 and the biggest yearly fall was 98.6% in 2024. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2017 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 5% of the movement over 8 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
