Share of unemployed adults among all adults, by educational attainment level, age group and gender

This dataset contains data on the share of unemployed adults by educational attainment level, age group and gender. The default table displays 2025 data (or the latest available year) on the share of 25-64 year-olds with below upper secondary, upper secondary or post-secondary non-tertiary, or tertiary attainment who are unemployed among all 25-64 year-olds. The selection can be changed to display data by more detailed educational attainment level, by programme orientation, by gender and by age group. Filter the time period to visualise historical data.

Data for the latest available year are preliminary. Final data will be released on September 29, 2026.
