Average years of secondary schooling completed among people aged 60-64. The data is compiled by Education Statistics, likely from national census and survey sources. It provides a measure of historical educational attainment for a specific demographic cohort.
Use Cases
- Analyze historical trends in secondary education completion by tracking the 'average years of secondary schooling' metric over time.
- Compare educational attainment across countries using the 'total' aggregate value for the 60-64 age cohort.
- Model the relationship between past education levels (age 60-64 cohort data) and current economic indicators.
- Assess generational shifts in education by contrasting this cohort's 'average years' with data for younger age groups.
Strengths
- Focuses on a specific, well-defined demographic cohort (age 60-64).
- Provides a standardized metric ('average years') for cross-country comparison.
Limitations
- Unknown sample size or row count for underlying survey data.
- Limited to a single age cohort, preventing analysis of full population educational attainment.
- Unknown temporal coverage and update frequency.
Provenance
- Source
- Education Statistics (likely from World Bank or affiliated organization).
- Collection Method
- Calculated from national census and survey data.
- Geography
- Likely multi-country, but specific coverage is unknown.
