Abstract
Educational attainment has been increasing throughout the OECD, in particular at tertiary level. Between 2000 and 2021, the share of 25-34 year-olds with tertiary attainment increased on average by 21 percentage points. In Costa Rica, the share also increased albeit at a slower pace, by 13 percentage points (from 18% in 2000 to 30% in 2021) (Figure 1). Costa Rica is one of the 24 OECD countries where tertiary education is the most common highest level of attainment among 25-34 year-olds. Costa Rica remains one of the two OECD countries, where below upper secondary education is still more common than upper secondary or post-secondary non-tertiary or education as the highest level of attainment among 25-34 year-olds.
