Getting a university degree in
Italy is less likely to lead to a job when compared to many
other countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD), according to the OECD's Education at a
Glance 2014 report released on Monday.
The average unemployment rate in the 34 OECD countries for
those with a university degree is 5.3%, while in Italy that
number jumps to 16%.
Italy also figured in a group of five countries with the
most low-qualified adults aged 25-34, defined as those without a
high school diploma or otherwise below upper secondary
education.
Italy did the best in that group, however, where less than
30% of those aged 25-34 lacked a high-school diploma.
In Portugal and Spain, the rate of those with below upper
secondary education was more than 30%, and in Mexico and Turkey
it was higher than 50%.
