What the numbers show
Wittgenstein Projection: Percentage of the population age 20-24 by highest level of educational attainment. Upper Secondary. Female is currently reported for 166 countries. The highest value is 1.0% in Slovenia; the lowest is 0.1% in Niger.
The median across all reporting countries is 0.6%, and the mean is 0.6%.
The gap between the highest and lowest reporting country is a factor of about 10.
Over the past decade 63 countries rose and 64 fell. The largest increase was in Burkina Faso (up 27.3%), and the largest decrease in Malaysia (down 9.5%).

About this data
Share of the population of the stated age group that has completed upper secondary or incomplete post-secondary education as the highest level of educational attainment. Projections are based on collected census and survey data for the base year (around 2010) and the Medium Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP2) projection model. The SSP2 is a middle-of-the-road scenario that combines medium fertility with medium mortality, medium migration, and the Global Education Trend (GET) education scenario.
