"Labor force with advanced education/male working-age population" measures the proportion of a country's working-age male population that has advanced education compared to the total male population. The International Standard Classification of Education 2011 states that advanced education comprises short-cycle tertiary education, a bachelor's degree or its equivalent, a master's degree or its equivalent, or a doctorate or its equivalent.
Coding rules
The variable is calculated by dividing the number of males aged 15+ with advanced education by the total number of males aged 15+. Teorell et al. (2024:1533) define the variable as "The percentage of the working age male population with an advanced level of education who are in the labor force. Advanced education comprises short-cycle tertiary education, a bachelor’s degree or equivalent education level, a master’s degree or equivalent education level, or doctoral degree or equivalent education level according to the International Standard Classification of Education 2011 (ISCED 2011)."
