Proportion of children, adolescents, and youth in the official age range for primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary education who are not enrolled in primary, lower secondary, or upper secondary education.

The result is expressed as a percentage of the population of the official age for primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary education.
