Average years of primary schooling completed among people aged 60-64 provides a measure of historical educational attainment for a specific demographic cohort. The dataset originates from the Barro-Lee project and is hosted by the World Bank's Education Statistics. It offers a cross-country perspective on educational outcomes.
Use Cases
- Analyze the relationship between historical primary schooling (age 60-64 cohort) and current economic development indicators.
- Compare educational attainment disparities between the 60-64 age group and younger cohorts across different countries.
- Model the impact of early-life educational policies on lifetime outcomes using the average years of primary schooling metric.
Strengths
- Data is derived from the authoritative Barro-Lee project, a standard reference in economics.
- Focuses on a specific, historically significant age cohort (60-64) for clear demographic analysis.
Limitations
- Specific row count, column details, and temporal coverage are unknown, limiting reproducibility.
- Data may be aggregated at the country level, masking sub-national or gender disparities within the 60-64 cohort.
