Educational attainment

Development of educational attainment

The development of educational attainment in recent years and decades shows a general rise in the level of education among the Austrian population. While around 62% of the resident Austrian population aged 15 years and over had only completed compulsory schooling in 1971, this value decreased to 26.2% in 2009. Significant increases are recorded for all types of further education.
