Liechtenstein: Gross intake ratio in first grade of primary education, male (% of relevant age group)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2017, Liechtenstein's gross intake ratio in first grade of primary education, male (% of relevant age group) fell 13.06 percentage points on 2016 (from 104.08% to 91.03%).

Across the 13 yearly changes before that (2004 to 2016), the average change was −0.08 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 10.04 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.3 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 18.09 percentage points in 2008 and the biggest yearly fall was 15.15 percentage points in 2014. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2008 to 2017 the straight-line trend is downward, about 3.54 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 80% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures

Gross intake ratio in first grade of primary education is the number of new entrants in the first grade of primary education regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the population of the official primary entrance age.

Limitations: The quality of data is affected when new entrants and repeaters are not correctly distinguished in the first grade of primary education. Caution is also needed for countries with a total population under 100,000 since the United Nations Population Division neither publish nor endorse single-age data for those countries. The data are highly subject to fluctuations in migration and other factors.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
