Definition
Primary completion rate, or gross intake ratio to the last grade of primary education, is the number of new entrants (enrollments minus repeaters) in the last grade of primary education, regardless of age, divided by the population at the entrance age for the last grade of primary education. Data limitations preclude adjusting for students who drop out during the final year of primary education.
What the series shows
The series runs from 1979 to 2024 (17 years of data). It moved from 90.1 to 100.6 %, a change of 11.6%. The highest value was 108.2 in 2001 and the lowest 90.1 in 1979. The comparison below sets Vietnam against 9 neighbouring economies on the latest available year.
Using it in a thesis
Indicators like this one are typical control or explanatory variables in macro and finance theses: merge the CSV with your other series on the year column, check for missing years before running a regression, and log-transform level variables that grow over time. If you use the series in a panel with other countries, take every country from the same source and vintage so the definitions match. Cite the original publisher, not this site, as shown below.
