Today it is considered the minimum qualification for successful participation in the labour market and for integration in society. In 2010, across OECD countries, 19.1% of 25-34 year-olds without an upper secondary qualification were unemployed, compared with 9.8% of young adults of the same age who had an upper secondary qualification. From 2004 to 2008, increasing upper secondary graduation rates coincided with declining numbers of 20-24 year-olds who were neither in education nor employed; but during the economic crisis, an upper secondary qualification no longer provided sufficient insurance against unemployment and poverty.Other editions: Parallele Sprachausgabe: Dans quelle mesure les pays parviennent-ils à former les jeunes au niveau requis pour trouver un emploi et gagner leur vie ?PPN: PPN: 1747666378Package identifier: Produktsigel: BSZ-13-SOC-education | ZDB-13-SOC | ZDB-13-SOC-ebookNo physical items for this record
