Employment participation; education level

This table contains quarterly and annual figures on the relationship between the highest education level achieved and employment participation in the Netherlands. The population aged 15 to 75 (excluding the institutional population) is divided into the employed, unemployed and non-occupied populations. The working population is further classified on the basis of the employment position and the average working time. A breakdown by gender, age and educational level is available for the different classifications. Data available from: 2013 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final. Changes as of 17 August 2022: None, this is a new table. This table is compiled on the basis of the Occupational Population Survey (EBB). Due to changes in the research design and questionnaire of the EBB, the figures for 2021 are not easily comparable to the figures up to 2020. The key figures in this table have therefore been made consistent with the (non-seasonally adjusted) figures in the Labour Participation table, key figures seasonally adjusted (see paragraph 4), in which the results for the period 2013-2020 have been recalculated to reflect the results from 2021 onwards. However, in the case of further detailing the outcomes according to job and personal characteristics, there may be differences between 2020 and 2021 as a result of the new methodology. When are new figures coming? New figures will be published on 17 November 2022.
