On the topic of Gender statistics, the section on education provides information on the educational level of the population as well as on the current educational qualifications of women and men. The data enable analyses of the development of gender-specific differences, for example in school-leaving examination rates or university degrees, as well as differences between women and men when choosing a field of study. The data is based on the register of educational attainment as well as the school and university statistics.
