Education

This study supports existing international educational surveys by providing evidence for various countries and territories. This study provides insights into educational attainment across countries. It reports which sociodemographic groups tend to have higher levels of education and how these trends differ. The study examined these differences by evaluating the sociodemographic contexts (e.g., age, marital status, employment status) in which achieving more education is found using data from 202,898 participants across 22 nationally representative countries.
