Is it possible to obtain the early school leaving rate by gender on the Statistics Portugal Portal?



Reply

Yes, without prejudice to its inclusion in other products available on the Portal, we suggest accessing the desired information via Products> Database> Theme: Education, training and learning> Subtheme: Educational qualifications.* To obtain the table that brings together all the available indicators, you can search for the word “Leavers” in the “Search by keyword” option, obtaining as a result a set of annual indicators from different series, with maximum geographical disaggregation at the NUTS 2 region level, which are sourced from the Statistics Portugal Employment Survey.

Examples of indicators:

Early leavers from education and training rate (2021 series - %) by Place of residence (NUTS - 2024) and Sex; Annual

Early leavers from education and training rate (2011 series - %) by Place of residence (NUTS - 2013) and Sex; Annual

Early leaving from education and training refers to individuals aged between 18 and 24 who have completed up to the third cycle of basic education and are not participating in any formal or non-formal education activities.

It should be noted that the table with the selected indicator information displays the most recent and aggregated information by default. However, this can be changed using the “Change selection conditions” option to obtain more detailed breakdowns of the indicator dimensions, where applicable, and/or other reference periods for the information.
