Abstract
Upper secondary attainment is often considered the minimum requirement for successful labour-market integration. Adults without this level of education are less employed, regardless of their age. On average across OECD countries, the employment rate is 58% for adults (25-64 year-olds) without upper secondary education and 75% for those with upper secondary or post-secondary non-tertiary education as their highest attainment, i.e. 17 percentage points more. On average across OECD countries, the employment rate for tertiary-educated adults increases by a further 10 percentage points (84%) compared to those with upper secondary or post-secondary non-tertiary education as their highest attainment ().
