Definition

The Net Enrolment Ratio (NER) is defined by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Institute for Statistics as enrolment of the official age-group for a given level of education expressed as a percentage of the corresponding population.UNESCO Institute for Statistics. UIS Indicator Definitions: Education Indicators, Techical Guidelines. UNESCO. UNESCO. For example, in 2005, Djibouti had the worst measured NER in primary education in the world at 34.4%.  Thus, out of every 100 children within the official age-group for primary education, only 34 were enrolled in school.The World Bank Group. (2010). School Enrolment, Primary (net %). Retrieved August 17, 2010, from The World Bank Data: http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SE.PRM.NENR?display=default

Purpose

The purpose of NER is to show the extent of participation in a given level of education of children and youths belonging to the official age-group corresponding to the given level of education.

This is a very important indicator in measuring rates of Access to Education, when considering gender inequality issues, as well as regional or rural/urban inequalities. It is of particular interest to the measure of Civil liberties of women/girls in a given country or region.
