Highest attained level of education, direction of persons; birth generation

This table contains figures on the highest educational level and direction of birth generations. The figures in this table are determined by age and gender. This makes it possible to compare the highest attained level of education among individuals of the same age group in the different birth generations. Only percentages are presented in this table. The table provides information for age groups from 30 to 35 years because people under the age of 30 have often not yet completed their education, thus underestimating the level of education for this group. Only percentages are presented in this table. The figures come from the Occupational Population Survey (EBB). Data available from: birth generation 1925 to 1930. This concerns the EBB since 1990. Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final. Changes as of 28 February 2019 The underlying codings of the classifications used in this table (birth generation, education direction, gender, age) have been adjusted. These are now in line with the standard coding established by CBS. The structure and data of the table have not been modified. When are new figures coming? The new figures will be released in June 2020.
