This table contains figures on the educational direction of the highest level of education attained by the population aged 15 to 90 in the Netherlands, with the exception of persons in institutions, institutions and homes (institutional population). The figures come from the Labor Force Survey (EBB). Data available from: 2013 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final. Changes as of May 16, 2023: The figures for the 1st quarter of 2023 have been added. Changes as of November 15, 2022: It was still possible to determine the education direction of a number of respondents. As a result, the number of unknowns in the field of education has decreased slightly. Changes as of August 17, 2022: None, this is a new table. This table has been compiled on the basis of the Labor Force Survey (EBB). Due to changes in the research design and the EBB questionnaire, the figures for 2021 are not directly comparable with the figures up to and including 2020. The key figures in this table have therefore been made consistent with the (non-seasonally adjusted) figures in the Labor participation table, seasonally adjusted key figures (see section 4), in which the results for the period 2013-2020 have been recalculated to match the results from 2021. When the results are further detailed according to job and personal characteristics, there may nevertheless be differences from 2020 to 2021 as as a result of the new method. When will new numbers come out? New figures will be published on August 16, 2023.
