1. “Education and the labour market” in NewCronos
ETS WG, 31 January-2 February 2005
Agenda Item 14
document 2005-ETS EN

2. Need of a domain on “education and the labour market” (ELM)
LFS results on education (LFS-E) are more and more used in policy making and benchmarking
Data on educational attainment are among the most requested by users
Need to develop specific LFS-E indicators for use in policies other than employment
Need to develop further a specific metadata system and quality evaluation for LFS-E indicators
Major concern: Compatibility ELM with standard LFS methods (including dissemination)
Therefore the ELM will be linked as much as possible to the LFS domain in NewCronos

3. Basic structure Labour Force Survey results
Results from ad hoc surveys (modules)
2000 on transition
2003 on lifelong learning
2009…
