Obs:

Sweden’s upper secondary school underwent a reform in 2011. Before this reform, the 1994 curriculum (Lpf 94) applied. As from 2011, a new curriculum (Gy 2011) applies. Any comparison between results concerning school leavers from the old upper secondary school and the new upper secondary school should be made with caution. In order to achieve comparability, the group “School leavers as from 1996/97” includes pupils with a school leaving certificate from upper secondary school up to and including 2012/13, and graduates with a diploma or a study certificate of at least 2500 study points as from 2013/14. General entry requirements
The general entry requirements variable refers to general entry requirements to higher education studies. In the Gy 2011 curriculum, all pupils with a diploma are automatically eligible to higher vocational education. Pupils with a diploma from a preparatory programme for higher education are automatically granted general entry to higher education studies. One exception is pupils who studied the International Baccalaureate programme, for whom information on eligibility is not available, while in the statistics they are reported under the group “without general entry requirements”.
Grades from upper-secondary school
Grades up to and including 2012/13 (Lpf 94): The grades are converted to grade points as follows: IG=0, G=10, VG=15 and MVG=20 Grades as from 2013/14: The grades are converted to grade points as follows: F=0, E=10, D=12.5 C=15, B=17.5 and A=20.
The calculation of the average grade points under Gy 2011 is similar to the one under Lpf 94. However, additional grade steps were introduced in Gy 2011, and grade criteria and the programme structure were altered. For this reason, comparison should be made with caution.
Level of education at the time of follow-up
Level of education at the time of follow-up indicates whether the person continued to study after upper secondary school. No account is taken of whether or not the person completed the programme - reporting is only based on how many years the person spent studying. The group “Post-secondary less than 3 years” includes programmes of at least one semester, but less than 3 years. Post-secondary education comprises mainly higher education, although other programmes, such as higher vocational education, are also included.
This information is only reported for persons who were registered in the population at the time of follow-up.
Employment
Employment refers to employment status in November according to the register-based labour market statistics, academic participation during the autumn semester according to the register of study participation and information on population registration on 31 December of the current year according to the register of the total population.
As from reference year 2019, a new data source (monthly employer declarations at individual level (AGI)) and a new method are used to classify who is working. Studies conducted on the effect of this change on labour market statistics generally indicate an increase in the proportion of people who are working under the new method. For example, those who have received a low wage payment, and thus probably do not work to such a large extent, have been classified as working if they received a payment in November. This means that among young people, the percentage of people working is higher compared with the previous method. Comparison of statistics concerning 2019 and earlier reference years must be made with great caution.
The comparability between the different forms of education and between different groups within the forms of education is affected to some extent by the fact that not everyone completes their education at the same time during the academic year and that thus, some have more time to establish themselves in the labour market than others. This may affect the results for the first follow-up time “after 1 year”. However, the significance is assumed to decrease the longer after the academic year that the follow-up is done. The most recent available data refers to follow-up year 2019. To prevent the disclosure of information about people in the statistics, all figures have been rounded to the nearest 5. This is why the study domains sometimes do not add up to the total. Only groups with at least 100 graduates are presented With regard to employment status and income, only groups with at least 100 graduates who work and work and study, respectively, are reported.
