About
Statistical figures detailing the European population categorised by education attainment level. This dataset provides granular insight into educational outcomes across various European countries, grouped by sex and age bracket. The original figures were sourced from Eurostat, providing a reliable basis for demographic and social analysis. The raw data was initially in TSV format but has been transformed into an accessible CSV structure suitable for data analysis tools.
Columns
- unit: The unit of measurement for the population count, which is typically in Thousands (THS).
- sex: The demographic split for the population figures (Male or Female).
- age: Represents different age groups, such as Y15-24 or Y15-39.
- isced11: The classification codes from the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED11), detailing the level of schooling attained (e.g., ED0-2 for early or primary education, ED3_4 for upper secondary).
- geography: The specific country or grouping of EU countries related to the data point (e.g., BE, CH).
- date: The calendar year for the recorded data observation.
- value: The actual population count corresponding to the attributes in that row, measured in the specified unit.
Distribution
The data product is distributed as a CSV file, named
population_by_education_level.csv, with a file size of approximately 18.95 MB. It contains 7 columns and approximately 610,000 valid records across most fields. The structure includes temporal information currently recorded in columns, which analysts may wish to pivot (or "melt") into date/value pairs for easier time-series analysis. The original figures were sourced in a TSV (tab-delimited) format.Usage
This data is highly valuable for various analytical purposes, including demographic modelling and social science research. It can be used for economic analysis relating education levels to labour market performance, public health studies assessing educational impacts on well-being, and evaluating longitudinal education trends and policy effectiveness over time.
