1/ Includes individuals who had at least completed secondary education. 2/ France's definitions of ISCED levels were changed so that they would be more similar to EUROSTAT definitions and would be easier to compare to the definitions of other countries. As a result, data for 1994 are not directly comparable with data for other years. 3/ Data are for 1989. NOTE: In the United States, completing secondary education is defined as graduating from high school or earning a GED; completing higher education is defined as earning a bachelor's degree or higher.
