Population; highest-achieved level of education and direction of education

This table contains figures on the education direction of the highest educational attained level of the population aged 15 to 90 in the Netherlands, with the exception of persons in establishments, institutions and homes (institutional population). The figures come from the Occupational Population Survey (EBB). 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.
