Explanation of symbols
Dataset is not available.
In this table international comparisions are made of the current and the potential supply of labour and of the labour costs. The composition of the current supply of labour is represented by a breakdown of levels of education of working persons (primary, secondary and tertiary education). The level of education of the potential supply of labour is indicated by the performance of students and the proportion of unemployed persons. The level of education is an indicator for human capital allocated to production. Labour costs are expressed in costs per hour and the unit labour costs.

According to the ISCED97 classification some other forms of education also count as higher education. According to the Dutch interpretation these are private or company training with a duration of at least 2 years full-time after havo/mbo-4. For example ICT and commercial training. Furthermore, there are differences between countries in what training is considered higher education. See for example Bernelot Moens, W.E., 'Heeft Nederland wel zo weinig hoopopgeleiden? Associate degree vult gaten in onderwijssysteem', Statistics Netherlands, 2005. - Employed persons by level of education
- Employed persons aged 25 to 65 years, by highest level of education attained. Persons employed are employees, self-employed persons and unpaid cooperating family members who work at least 1 hour per week. Education levels have been classified according to the international classification of education ISCED97 of UNESCO. ISCED97 stands for the International Standard Classification of Education of the year 1997.
Education has been classified into three classes:
1) 'primary education' (ISCED97 levels 0-2). In the Netherlands for example primary school, vmbo and the junior forms of havo and vwo;
2) 'secondary education' (ISCED97 levels 3-4). In the Netherlands for example the senior forms of havo and vwo, mbo-2,3 and 4, modern apprenticeship;
3) 'tertiary education' (ISCED97 levels 5-6). Hbo, university and PhD tracks.
