Defnition: | Percentage of population between 15 and 24 years of age who can read and write (UNESCO). | |
Formula | $$[dEx]^{Lr}=\frac{1-Lr_{15-24}^\%}{Lr_{15-24}^\%}$$ $[dEx]^{Lr}$ : Degree of exclusion from access to quality education $Lr_{15-24}^\%$ :Literacy rate among 15-24 years old | |
Computation: | National/sub-national. | |
In Excel, use the following condition IF: If$\alpha Lr_{15-24}^\%$ p50 give value of 1 IF NOT apply the formula (*): $$[dEx]^{Lr}=\frac{1-Lr_{15-24}^\%}{ Lr_{15-24}^\%}$$ |
