DEFINITIONS OF THE INDICATORS
Orphan school attendance ratio: Percentage of children (10–14 years old) who have lost both biological
parents and who are currently attending school as a percentage of non-orphaned children of the same age who
live with at least one parent and who are attending school.
NOTES
– Data not available.
* Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified in the column heading.
** United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS (2001) indicator.
p Proportion of orphans (aged 10–14) attending school is based on small denominators (typically 25–49
unweighted cases).
y Data refer to years or periods other than those specified in the column heading, differ from the standard
definition or refer to only part of a country. Such data are included in the calculation of regional and global
averages.
† Regional averages are calculated only for the population representing 50 per cent or more of the region's
total population of interest.
