Mean weighted national original FEMI category values, gender inequality coefficients (ratio of women's/men's rates), and adjusted FEMI category values for the education and employment categories for the years 1990–2013 in Nigeria. The inequality-adjusted value is calculated by multiplying the original value by the relative inequality gap, which is the ratio of women's achievement to men's achievement.
