8 Inequality of opportunities and who are the furthest behind in Asia-Pacific
9 Measuring inequality of opportunities Two ways used by ESCAP D-Index Classification Tree

11 D-index Asia-Pacific INEQUALITY IN ASIA AND THE PACIFIC
12 Decomposition of D-index D-index in secondary education attainment D-index decomposition for secondary education Sex Residence Wealth Source: SDD elaboration based on DHS and MICS data, latest year
13 Decomposition of D-index D-index in access to clean fuels D-index decomposition for access to clean fuels Wealth Residence Education
14 Classification Tree The Classification Tree method uses an algorithm to estimates the access to an opportunity (e.g. secondary education) by partitioning the sample into different groups based on the circumstances chosen (e.g. gender, residence). Can also be used to identify those furthest behind INEQUALITY IN ASIA AND THE PACIFIC
15 Secondary education attainment rates Identifying the Furthest Behind Example of secondary education attainment in Mongolia, using the tree classification 100% 90% Top 60 Size: 61% Females Males Females in top 60 households Size: 32% 80% 70% 60% Population Size: 100% Males in top 60 households Size: 29% People in bottom 40 urban households Size 14% 50% 40% Females in bottom 40 rural households Size: 12% 30% Bottom 40 Size: 39% 20% Rural Size: 25% Males in bottom 40 rural households Size: 13% 10% Source: SDD elaboration based on DHS and MICS data, latest year
16 Stunting prevalence rate Identifying the Furthest Behind Example of stunting prevalence in Pakistan, using the tree classification 70% 60% Mother's Education at Primary level Size: 72% Bottom 40 Size: 40% Boys in Bottom 40 households whose mother has Primary education Size: 20% Girls in Bottom 40 households whose mother has Primary education Size: 20% 50% 40% Population Size 100% Top 60 Size: 32% Children in urban and Top 60 households whose mother has Primary education Size: 14% Children in rural and Top 60 households whose mother has Primary education Size: 19% 30% Mother's Education at Secondary level Children whose mother has Secondary education Size: 19% 20% Mother's Education at Secondary or Higher level Size: 28% Mother's Education at Higher level Se n Children whose mother has Higher education Size: 9% 10% Source: SDD elaboration based on DHS and MICS data, latest year
