- Abstract
- Population with completed secondary education (per 1,000).
The education level attained is classified according to the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED). The expression ‘level successfully completed’ is associated with obtaining a certificate or a diploma. In cases where there is no certification, successful completion must be associated with full attendance. In this layer, we refer to upper and post-secondary non-tertiary education (ISCED 3-4).
ISCED-3: upper secondary education – generally begins at the end of compulsory education; initial age is typically 15-16 years and entry qualifications and other minimum entry requirements are usually needed; education is often more subject-oriented and typical duration varies from two to five years.
ISCED-4: post-secondary non-tertiary education – straddles the boundary between upper secondary and tertiary education; typical examples are programmes preparing pupils for studies at level 5 or for direct labour market entry.
Education plays a vital economic and social role and its development can give important information on demographic trends (Eurostat, 2010): the presence of schools and universities (and the commuting distancesto them) can influence the persistence of young population and their families, at least during the school period. Education levels, labour markets and demography are dynamically intertwined. The younger and better qualified population is usually more mobile than the older generations: thus, the absence of an adequate job supply for qualified young people is likely to favour their emigration towards peri-Alpine areas with better opportunities and higher rates of highly qualified jobs. This phenomenon is also defined “brain drain” and is common to mountainous and other geographically marginal areas (Corrado et al., 2013). This may relate to different segments of society, but it seems particularly evident when it affects young people accessing higher education.
