“…The GPI is given by the Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) of higher education for females and males. A GPI of 1 shows parity between both sexes, a GPI lower than 1 indicates disparity favoring males, whereas a disparity greater than 1 favors females (Akbash et al, 2018; Amirtham & Kumar, 2021). Cross-tabulation was employed to ascertain relationships between variables.…”

Despite the World Declaration on Higher Education for the 21st Century that education is the ultimate support of human rights, and that access and participation remain key catalysts to accelerating equal educational opportunities for all, females continue to trail their male counterparts in educational outcomes across sub-Saharan Africa. This study focuses on the Ghanaian context and assesses the gender dimensions of student enrollment in higher education, highlighting the disparities therein. We adopt a typical case study design, and a mixed method approach, involving quantitative analysis of student enrollment data, qualitative interviews, and focus group discussions with administrators and students at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. We find generally low female participation across all colleges of the university, except for the College of Health Sciences. We also find low female participation across three dimensions: qualified applicants, admissions, and enrollment. The causes of disparity in the dimensions of student enrollment are rooted in four main factors: institutional, socio-cultural, economic, and awareness of STEM policy and opportunities. The present findings have implications for the implementation of STEM and other gender policies at both the pre-tertiary and tertiary levels of education across sub-Saharan Africa.

“…Скориставшись методологією [34], згідно з правилами соціальної статистики ми визначили для кожної організації коефіцієнти гендерної асиметрії для авторів статей, які увійшли до ядра h-індексу, а також коефіцієнти асиметрії для внесків статей авторів-жінок і авторів чоловіків у формування ядра h-індексу (рис . 6, створено авторами) за формулою:…”

In the article, the authors disclosed the results of the study that was conducted with the aim of determining the gender characteristics of the groups of the authors of articles that were included in the core of the Hirsch index for each pedagogical university of Ukraine (according to the SciVerse Scopus database) as well as to analyze the influencing factors on the formation of the core of the Hirsch index of these universities in the context of the gender division. For this purpose, one-factor variance analysis and elementary methods of statistical analysis were used - a calculation of percentage ratios and determination of gender asymmetry indices. The gender analysis of the group of authors whose articles were included in the h-index core of each university showed that in the presence of the general gender parity in the gender groups of authors whose articles are indexed by the Scopus database, there is a gender asymmetry between the gender groups of authors of articles from the core in favor of the male authors. The same tendency occurs between the gender groups of authors, whose articles were included in the core of the h-index of the combined list of all the pedagogical universities of Ukraine: both for the ratio of the groups of authors of articles, and for the ratio of contributions of the groups to the core. As a result of a series of univariate variance analyzes of the influence of the external factors on the formation of the Hirsch index core, a significant gender difference was revealed when analyzing the following factors: presence/absence of publication funding (articles that have funding have a much higher citation rate), publication quartile (articles placed in publications of the first quartile, are cited much more often) and the age of the article (the older the article, the higher its citation index). At the same time, factors such as the number of authors of the article and the type of access to the article did not influence the formation of the core of the h-index of the pedagogical higher educational institutions. Moreover, only one factor (the availability of access to the article) can be characterized as a gender parity. On the contrary, there is an obvious gender difference in the distribution of the number of authors in the articles, the availability of funding for the publication, the “age” of the article, and in the distribution of articles by the publications of the first two quartiles.

“…Тепер, коли К 𝑏 рівне 1, маємо питомий гендерний паритет, а коли К 𝑏 відмінний від 1 -питомою гендерною асиметрією, причому, чим ближчим було значення К 𝑏 до 0, тим більше характерна ознака домінує серед осіб чоловічої статі і, навпаки, при великих значеннях К 𝑏 характерна ознака домінує серед осіб жіночої статі. Ці два різні варіанти одного коефіцієнту у різних ситуаціях можна зручно використовувати, особливо якщо мова йде про наочні ілюстрації викладок 1 .…”
