This indicator reflects the proportion of individuals aged 25 and older who have achieved a minimum level of post-secondary education, encompassing both non-tertiary and tertiary qualifications. It serves as a vital benchmark for assessing a population's educational progress and the effectiveness of educational systems in fostering lifelong learning opportunities. Beyond merely highlighting educational success, this metric can influence economic development, as a higher percentage often correlates with increased employability, enhanced income potential, and greater civic engagement. Analyzing shifts in this statistic over time can provide insights into societal changes, labor market dynamics, and the evolving demands for skilled labor, thereby guiding policymakers in strategic educational investments and workforce planning.
