Facts: Belgium’s labour force is becoming more highly qualified. By 2025, the share of those with high-level qualifications should rise to 47.5% compared to 40.2% in 2013 and 35.6% in 2005. People with medium-level qualifications in 2025 will be the same as in 2013, around 40.1% of the labour force. The share with low-level or no qualifications is forecast to fall from 19.7% in 2013 to 12.4% in 2025.
Problem: In Belgium, in 2013, 11% of young people left the education and training system with low-level qualifications, above the national target of less than 9.5% by 2020. In the EU, the average, in 2013, was 11.9%, still higher than its benchmark of less than 10 % of young people leaving the education and training system with low-level qualifications by 2020.
