The Educational Attainment File (EAF)= SSB-component HOOGSTEOPL

• Contains highest attained education level for greater part of population in the Netherlands

• Is based on information from both registers and a series of LFS’s

• Can be used for estimates of education levels in even small subpopulations, provided reliability is good enough, and as background variable in multivariate analyses.

Situation in the Netherlands No complete register of certificates available, only partial information

For groups of people (e.g. majority older people and people educated abroad) no information on education available from education registers survey information necessary

Data sources used for Education Archive

High quality administrative information is available on

•higher education: 1986…

•student grants: 1995 …

•exams in general secondary education: 1999…

•secondary general education: 2003…

•secondary vocational education: 2004…•Recently also primary education (from 2008/’09, but not yet used in our process)

In addition

•Education careers from LFS’s: 1996 …

•Education careers from job-seekers: 2004 …

In particular necessary for older people & immigrants.

In TOTAL: 96 million records in Education Archive

up to 2011,

Updated annually.

Data on e.g. studycode, study phase, start & end date, result of exams

Weighting

• Coverage shows selectivity: young people overrepresented

• Weighting is necessary to correct for selectivity

• The registers integrally describe a specific subpopulation: weight = 1

• Reweight records of Labour Force Survey, so that weights add up to remaining (non-register) population LFS-records: weight <> 1

• Weights sum to the total Dutch population

Standard codes of education can be converted into education levels, e.g.,

- lower-intermediate-higher level of education

- levels of more detailed CBS-classification

- SOI (dutch: Standaard Onderwijs Indeling)

- ISCED (Internat. Standard Class. of Education)

How to use the Educational Attainment File

Microdata on education level 11

• Combine with other registersExample:

• Multivariate analyses

Integral dataset of social security benefit recipients

EAF

+ =Social security benefit recipients for whom information on educational attainment is available

Use weight (and reweight if necessary) to get the official number of social security benefit recipients

Page 12: Microdata on  education level

Reliability

Because level of education is partly based on LFS one is faced with sample margins.

An Excel-tool is available (and preferrably should be used) to check whether cell outcome can be published or not.
