qualifications.
Page 24, Figure 1.9: revision of data in pie chart on breakdown of NEET (15-29) by level of education - it should
read as follows:

“medium education” refers to upper- or post-secondary education (ISCED Levels 3-4); and “high education” means higher, or tertiary,
education (ISCED Levels 5-6).

data apply to 2013. In all other countries, the data relate to 2014.
