Individuals holding a moderate level of education in Germany frequently find themselves in employment settings.
Sure thing, let me spin this for you:
Germany tends to have a higher employment rate than the typical OECD nation, particularly for individuals with a middle-tier education.
Last year, approximately 83 percent of Germans aged 25 to 64 with a middle-tier education were employed, as per the Federal Statistical Office in Wiesbaden, contrasting with the OECD average of 77 percent.
Individuals with a high level of education generally have a higher employment rate. In Germany, this rate stands at 89 percent, slightly exceeding the OECD average of 87 percent. The Federal Statistical Office explained, "This indicates that the employment rates for individuals with medium and high qualifications in Germany differ by merely about five percentage points. However, in the average OECD country, this difference is about ten percentage points, which is double as large." Experts attribute this to the significant role of dual education in Germany.
On the flip side, Germans with a low level of education are significantly less likely to be employed. Last year, only 66 percent of such individuals were employed, according to the Federal Statistical Office, which is higher than the OECD average of 60 percent.
As per the definition at hand, individuals with an academic degree or master's, technician's, or vocational school degree are categorized as highly educated. A medium level of education is considered to include vocational qualifications and Abitur or Fachhochschulreife. Individuals with a Haupt- or Realschulabschluss, a polytechnic upper school degree without vocational training, or no degree at all are categorized as having a low level of education.
The employment rate of Germans with a middle-tier education surpassed the OECD average by 6 percentage points in terms of the 'Percentage of' employed individuals last year. In contrast, the disparity between the employment rates of individuals with medium and high qualifications in the average OECD country is approximately double, amounting to a difference of 10 percentage points.
