Unemployment with intermediate education (% of total labor force with intermediate education)

This indicator reflects the unemployment rate among individuals possessing an intermediate level of education, specifically those who have completed upper secondary or post-secondary non-tertiary education as defined by the International Standard Classification of Education 2011 (ISCED 2011). Understanding this metric is crucial for policymakers and educators, as it highlights the challenges faced by graduates in securing employment within a competitive labor market. A high percentage of unemployment in this demographic may signal mismatches between educational outcomes and job market demands, potential skills gaps, or regional economic disparities. Monitoring this rate can inform targeted interventions, such as retraining programs or educational reforms, aimed at enhancing employability and aligning workforce skills with industry needs. Source:
