The folder 'population by educational attainment level (edat1)' presents data on the highest level of education successfully completed by the individuals of a given population.
The folder 'transition from education to work (edatt)' covers data on young people neither in employment nor in education and training – NEET, early leavers from education and training and the labour status of young people by years since completion of highest level of education.
The data shown are calculated as annual averages of quarterly EU Labour Force Survey data (EU-LFS).
The source notes that the data on foreign-born youth has low reliability.
