About this Dataset

Youth Exclusion From Education - Regions

This dataset provides statistics on the exclusion of young people from education, NEETs and early leavers in large regions (TL2).

Data definition and source

NEET rate is measure as the rate of young people not in employment and not in any education and training. The rate of early leavers from education and training refers to young people who have finished no more than a lower secondary education and are not involved in further education or training. The NEET and early leavers rates generally refer to persons aged 18 to 24, expressed as a percentage of the total population of the same age.

Data are collected from Eurostat (reg_educ) for EU countries, and through delegates of the OECD Working Party on Territorial Indicators (WPTI) and the OECD Working Party on Education System Indicators (INES).

Definition of regions

Regions are subnational units below national boundaries. OECD countries have two regional levels: large regions (territorial level 2 or TL2) and small regions (territorial level 3 or TL3). The OECD regions are presented in the OECD Territorial grid (pdf) and in the OECD Territorial correspondence table (xlsx).
