"Labor force with basic education/total working-age population" measures the percentage of employed people in a nation who have completed a basic education. The 2011 International Standard Classification of Education states that elementary or lower secondary education is considered basic education.
Coding rules
The variable is calculated by dividing the total number of population with basic education aged 15+ by the total population aged 15+. Teorell et al. (2024:1533) define the variable as "The percentage of the working age population with a basic level of education who are in the labor force. Basic education comprises primary education or lower secondary education according to the International Standard Classification of Education 2011 (ISCED 2011)."
