On the way to 2020: data for vocational education and training policies. Country statistical overviews. Update 2013

Summary:

This report provides an updated statistical overview of vocational education and training (VET) and lifelong learning in European countries. These country statistical snapshots illustrate progress on indicators selected for their policy relevance and contribution to Europe 2020 objectives. The indictors provide country-based evidence on: access, attractiveness and flexibility of initial and continuous VET; investment, skill developments and labour market relevance in VET; and labour market transitions and employment trends. They offer a review of progress in key areas of education and training policy in Europe.

The report is the first updated edition of a previous Cedefop publication issued in 2013. It incorporates new hard evidence from the European statistical system, including the latest rounds of the continuing vocational training survey and the adult education surveys, as well as most recent updates from the EU labour force survey and the UOE data collection on education. Latest data from Cedefop skills supply and demand forecasts are also considered.
