Education Indicators in Focus
Education Indicators in Focus is a recurring series of briefs that highlight specific indicators in OECD’s Education at a Glance that are of particular interest to policy makers and practitioners. They provide a detailed look into current issues in pre-primary, primary and secondary education, higher education, and adult outcomes from a global perspective, and contain an engaging mix of text, tables and charts that describe the international context of the most pressing questions in education policy and practice.

Subnational variations in educational attainment and labour market outcomes
Levels of educational attainment do not only vary among countries, but also within them. In
many countries, people with tertiary education – usually the most skilled people – are more highly represented in the capital region.
Regional employment rates in many countries vary more widely among adults without upper
secondary education than among those with upper secondary education or higher.
In many countries, the percentage of young people neither in employment nor in education or training (NEET) is twice as high in some regions as in others.
