Levels of educational attainment do not only vary among countries, but also within them. In
many countries, people with tertiary education – usually the most skilled people – are more highly represented in the capital region.
Regional employment rates in many countries vary more widely among adults without upper
secondary education than among those with upper secondary education or higher.
In many countries, the percentage of young people neither in employment nor in education or training (NEET) is twice as high in some regions as in others.
