Source metadata Source metadata Data source(s) used Data source(s) usedThe data collection of indicators on eduaction at the subnational level is done by the Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities (CFE), in coordination with the Directorate for Education and Skills (EDU). The data are collected through the network composed by the delegates of the Working Party on Territorial Indicators (WPTI), and involved the participation of the delegates of the Working Party on Indicators of Educational Systems (INES). Data are also collected from Eurostat with customised tables and include the historical data collected in the previous years through the INES working party.
Population & Scope Population & Scope Concepts & Classifications Concepts & Classifications Key statistical concept Key statistical conceptIn any analytical study conducted at sub-national levels, the choice of the territorial unit is of prime importance. The territorial grids (TL2 and TL3) used in this database are officially established and relatively stable in all member countries, and are used by many as a framework for implementing regional policies. The 389 OECD large (TL2) regions represent the first administrative tier of subnational government. This classification - which, for European countries, is largely consistent with the Eurostat classification - facilitates greater comparability of regions at the same territorial level. The differences with the Eurostat NUTS classification concern Belgium, France, Germany and the United Kingdom where the OECD TL2 regions correspond to the Eurostat NUTS1. TL3 and NUTS3 are equivalent.
Due to limited data availability, labour market indicators in Canada and Germany are presented for a different grid (groups of TL3 regions). Since these breakdowns are not part of the OECD official territorial grids, for the sake of simplicity they are labelled as Non Official Grids (NOG).
