- Abstract
- Population with completed tertiary education (per 1,000 residents).
ISCED level 5 and level 6 are considered for this indicator. ISCED level 5: tertiary education (first stage) – entry normally requires successful completion of level 3 or 4; it includes tertiary programmes with academic orientation which are largely theoretically based and occupation orientation programmes, which are typically shorter and geared towards entering the labour market. ISCED level 6: tertiary education (second stage) – leads to advanced research qualification (Ph.D. or doctorate).
Education plays a vital economic and social role and the development of the education sector can give important information on the development of demographic trends (Eurostat, 2010). The presence of schools and universities and the commuting distances to education facilities can influence the persistence of young population and their families, at least during the school period. Moreover, education level, labour market and demographic trends are dynamically intertwined.
The younger and better qualified population is usually more mobile than the older generations; therefore, the absence of an adequate job supply for qualified young people is likely to favour their movement towards peri-Alpine areas, where higher rates of highly qualified jobs can be found. This event, common to mountain areas and other geographically marginal areas, is also defined as “brain drain”, i.e. the emigration of skilled labour force to more favourable areas with better opportunities (Corrado et al., 2013). This may relate to different segments of society, but it seems particularly evident when it affects young people accessing to higher education.
