Education and Training Statistics Working Group – 19-20 June 2014 Item 4.1(2) – AES beyond 2016 Sabine Gagel Eurostat F5 Education and Training Statistics Working Group – 19-20 June 2014

Education and Training Statistics Working Group – 19-20 June 2014 AES beyond 2016 AES 2016 – see item 4.2 Under existing framework Regulation (452/2008) Beyond 2016 Possibility A: under existing framework Regulation AES every 5 years, age 25-64, … = AES 2021 analogously to AES 2016 Possibility B: under new framework Regulation for social microdata collections Depends on modernisation process = if adopted in time "New" AES – changes compared to 452/2008 possible Education and Training Statistics Working Group – 19-20 June 2014

Education and Training Statistics Working Group – 19-20 June 2014 "New" AES Items covered by Framework Regulation vs. items covered by delegated/implementing acts Different from current situation Discussion on-going Some items of future AES need to be defined now Regardless by which level the item is covered in the end Education and Training Statistics Working Group – 19-20 June 2014

"New" AES – items under discussion (1) Periodicity: every 6 years? PART12M in LFS every 2 years DSS recommends 2/4/6 years for surveys 'Peaks and valleys' discussion Target population: 18-74 (or 18-69) Currently restricted to 25-64 but strong interest in extending target population Larger sample required Education and Training Statistics Working Group – 19-20 June 2014

"New" AES – items under discussion (2) No proxy interviews Reference period 12 months prior to the interview Calendar year No option as clash with data collection period Data collection period 6 months Q4/Q1 – 'peaks and valleys' Aims at further improvement compared to AES 2016 (9 months) Education and Training Statistics Working Group – 19-20 June 2014

"New" AES – items under discussion (3) Data transmission period Validated microdata: 6 months after national data collection period Quality reports: 3 months after microdata Precision requirements Harmonised approach across all surveys Maximum standard error estimated for a specific indicator AES: Participation rate in non-formal education (age 18-69/74) Education and Training Statistics Working Group – 19-20 June 2014

Education and Training Statistics Working Group – 19-20 June 2014 PART12M in LFS DSS November 2013 PART12M to be collected every 2 years in LFS When? Depends on adoption of Framework Regulation What? Based on previous proposals discussed at ETS WG and LAMAS WG, with DSS comments Eurostat internal discussion Final written consultation of ETS WG and LAMAS WG Education and Training Statistics Working Group – 19-20 June 2014

Education and Training Statistics Working Group – 19-20 June 2014 The ETS WG is invited to take note of and discuss The two possibilities for implementing AES beyond 2016 Possible changes for "new" AES beyond 2016 Written consultation of ETS WG in Q4/2014 State of play of PART12M in LFS Education and Training Statistics Working Group – 19-20 June 2014
