Abstract
In modern societies, education is one of the key factors for individuals; it is related to personal successes in the labor market, in salary, in health, and in well-being). Education is also very important for society itself, in terms of social cohesion, innovation, racial and religious tolerance, and so on. Human capital as the most important prerequisite for the success of the knowledge-based economy is coming to the forefront of public policies. The European Council adopted the Lisbon Strategy as a complex economic and social strategy in 2000 to respond to the changing global conditions (European Council 2000). The Lisbon Strategy has been followed by the EU 2020 Strategy which emphasized the importance of education as a priority for smart, sustainable and inclusive economic growth. One of the headline targets focuses directly on outputs from education—the share of early school leavers and the share of the younger generation with tertiary education (EC 2010).

European Union Labor Force Survey (EU LFS) is a large household sample survey providing quarterly results on labor participation of people aged 15 and over as well as on persons outside the labor force. Information on the highest education attainment of participants is also included. National statistical authorities are responsible for data collection in the EU Member States. Access to anonymized individual data (microdata) is restricted and is granted for scientific purposes only (Eurostat 2014).
