Parity Index
Definitions

Parity indices require data for the specific groups of interest. They represent the ratio of the indicator value for one group to that of the other. Typically, the likely more disadvantaged group is placed in the numerator. A value of exactly 1 indicates parity between the two groups.
Calculations

The indicator value of the likely more disadvantaged group is divided by the indicator value of the other sub-population of interest.
