Lifelong learning; population (15 to 75 years), 2003-2021
Description
This table contains figures on the participation in lifelong learning of the population aged 15 to 75 (excluding the institutional population) in the Netherlands. The data can be broken down by different background characteristics such as gender, age, highest educational attainment and labour market position (active, unemployed and the non-occupational population).
At the same time, people undergo formal training as non-formal training. These persons are included in this table among those undergoing formal training. As a result, the number of persons undergoing non-formal training in this table is somewhat lower than the actual number of persons undergoing non-formal training.
Due to changes in the research design and questionnaire of the EBB, a revision of the figures for reporting year 2021 was carried out in the first quarter of 2022.
The figures for 2021 are not necessarily comparable to the previous reporting periods. In this table, we see a break with previous years in the figures on participation in non-formal education.
In this, the EBB questionnaire has become personal, whereas respondents were asked about the situation for the whole family or household.
Now everyone answers only for themselves and not for others anymore. For non-formal courses, it appears that if they are reported by others, they are less well measured.
Data available from 2003 to 2021
Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are final.
Amendments as of 15 November 2022:
None, this table has been discontinued.
Changes as of 17 May 2022:
Due to changes in the research design and questionnaire of the EBB, a revision of the figures for reporting year 2021 has been carried out. The figures for 2021 are not necessarily comparable to the previous reporting periods.
Changes as of 14 November 2019:
The figures on the level of education in this table have been corrected for the period 2012-2018. This is a correction in the distraction of the level of education of persons who indicate that they have obtained a diploma abroad with a level similar to the higher education level. This group was wrongly awarded the level associated with an MBO2 training.
When are new figures coming?
No longer applicable.
This table is followed up by the Lifelong Learning Table; population (15 to 75 years). See paragraph 3.
