Obs:
Note that a level of education comprises both studies concluded with a degree and studies concluded without a degree, excluding postgraduate studies that only include persons with degrees. An education must cover no less than one term of full-time studies to enable level classification.
For further information on principles for classifying the level of education, see www.scb.se/sun
Note that educational data might be incomplete for a small number of persons. It could concern people with degrees from abroad or with private degrees or with internal company-educations or people with old degrees.
Footnotes
level of education
The classification by level of educational attainment is according to the Swedish national educational classification (SUN)
