The bar chart illustrates the employment rates of people aged 25 to 34 and 55 to 64 in 2005 and 2015, categorized by their highest level of education attained.
Overall, employment rates were higher among younger individuals (25-34) than older ones (55-64) in both years. In addition, people with higher education qualifications were more likely to be employed, and employment rates generally increased from 2005 to 2015 across most groups.
In 2005, for the 25-34 age group, those with post-secondary non-tertiary education had the highest employment rate, just over 85%, closely followed by tertiary-educated individuals at around 84%. Those with below upper secondary education had the lowest employment rate at about 70%. By 2015, employment rates for this age group remained high, with a slight decline for the less-educated, while post-secondary and tertiary rates stayed roughly the same.
In the 55-64 age group, employment rates were significantly lower in 2005, especially for those with below upper secondary education, whose employment was around 45%. The rate increased steadily with education, reaching nearly 65% for tertiary-educated individuals. By 2015, all groups in this age category saw noticeable increases, with tertiary-educated individuals exceeding 70% employment.
