Jews are more highly educated than any other major religious group around the world, while Muslims and Hindus tend to have the fewest years of formal schooling, according to a Pew Research Center global demographic study that shows wide disparities in average educational levels among religious groups. These gaps in educational attainment are partly a function of where religious groups are concentrated throughout the world. For instance, the vast majority of the world’s Jews live in the United States and Israel – two economically developed countries with high levels of education overall. And low levels of attainment among Hindus reflect the fact that 98% of Hindu adults live in the developing countries of India, Nepal and Bangladesh. Drawing on census and survey data from 151 countries, the study also finds large gender gaps in educational attainment within some major world religions. date: 2016-12 date_type: published publisher: Pew Research Center creators_browse_id: 236 creators_browse_id: 297 full_text_status: public place_of_pub: Washington, DC refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-0-9974190-1-6 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/book citation: Hackett, C., McClendon, D., Potančoková, M.
