This indicator highlights the proportion of the male workforce within the working-age population that possesses advanced educational qualifications, including short-cycle tertiary programs, bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and doctoral degrees, as classified by ISCED 2011. By focusing specifically on males, the measure provides insights into gender disparities in educational attainment and labor market participation. A higher ratio may indicate greater access to advanced educational opportunities for men, potentially leading to enhanced economic productivity and innovation. Conversely, trends in this ratio can reflect broader sociocultural shifts and disparities, offering a lens into the effectiveness of educational systems and workforce policies in fostering an educated male labor force. Evaluating this percentage can thus inform targeted interventions aimed at promoting balanced educational and economic outcomes.
