Esta tabla proporciona metadatos para el indicador real disponible a partir de las estadísticas de US más cercanas al correspondiente indicador global de SDG. Tenga en cuenta que incluso cuando el indicador global de ODS esté totalmente disponible a partir de las estadísticas de US, se debe consultar esta tabla para obtener información sobre la metodología nacional y otra información de metadatos específicos de US.
| Actual indicator available | Data are based on indicators 4-1-1, 4-2-1, 4-2-2, 4-3-1, 4-4-1, 4-6-1, 4-7-1. Description of indicators are contained in meta data for those indicators. |

| Actual indicator available - description | Descriptions of indicators are based on information in other metaprovided in indicators 4-1-1, 4-2-1, 4-2-2, 4-3-1, 4-4-1, 4-6-1, 4-7-1. Variable lists provided under other indicator metadata. Raw data are provided since there it would seem to be inappropriate to have some groups in the numerator on some metrics and in the denominator on others. |

| Comments and limitations | Refer to metadata for specific indicators. Note that parity measures suggested above are highly sensitive to small differences and do not account for differences strictly due to standard errors of the samples. The problem with the suggested metric is compounded when comparing relatively small percentages. So, if 10 percent of males and 12 percent of females were enrolled at a particular level, and there was a standard error of .75 on each metric, there would be no significant difference yet the parity ratio as specified above would be .83 which might suggest a substantial difference. The two point difference flipping the perspective to 88 and 90 percent enrolled would yield a metric of 98, which would be more in line with the non-significant difference. As a result of these concerns with the specified metrics and the nonlinear aspect of the metric, we strongly recommend a different approach be used to compare across countries when the differences from country to country in the raw metrics may be assumed to be very large. |
