Science graduates are younger and better employed
- Share to:
In 2005, 29% of the EU's 55 million tertiary graduates between 25 and 64 years old had a degree in Science, mathematics and computing or Engineering, manufacturing and construction (Figure 1). The bulk of this population - namely 10.4 million, or 18.9% of all tertiary graduates - had an educational background in Engineering, and 5.3 million, or 9.7% of all tertiary graduates, had an educational background in Science. In Table 2, this population is further broken down by country and gender. In absolute numbers, Germany had the largest population of Science and Engineering (S&E) tertiary graduates, followed by the United Kingdom and France. With nearly 3.8 million S&E tertiary graduates, Germany was also, together with Romania, the Czech Republic and Estonia, among the countries with the highest share of S&E tertiary graduates in the total population of graduates aged 25-64 years. The respective shares were 35%, 42%, 34% and 34%.
