Labor force with intermediate education (% of total working-age population with intermediate education)

This indicator represents the proportion of the working-age population engaged in labor that has attained intermediate education, defined by the International Standard Classification of Education 2011 (ISCED 2011) as encompassing upper secondary and post-secondary non-tertiary education. It reflects the educational achievements required for various occupations and industries, serving as a critical benchmark for assessing workforce competence and adaptability. A higher percentage indicates a robust and skilled labor force capable of meeting the demands of evolving economies, contributing to productivity and economic growth. Additionally, this ratio can help policymakers identify areas for improving educational access and addressing skills gaps within the labor market, thus fostering a more resilient and competitive workforce.
