A visualization of educational attainment in Upper Austria, broken down by gender, age, and country of birth. The dashboard includes four complementary charts that reveal important patterns in educational distribution across different demographic groups.
The visualization includes:
- Educational Attainment by Gender:
- Women now have higher tertiary education rates (35.6%) than men (32.4%)
- Men have slightly higher rates of upper secondary education (52.8% vs 49.6%)
- Both genders have identical rates of lower education (14.8%)
- Educational Attainment by Age Group:
- Clear generational progression toward higher education
- Tertiary education increases from 29.8% (55-64 age group) to 40.2% (25-34 age group)
- Lower education decreases from 18.4% (55-64 age group) to 10.3% (25-34 age group)
- Educational Attainment by Country of Birth:
- Foreign-born residents show a polarized pattern with higher proportions at both ends of the spectrum
- Higher rates of tertiary education (38.7% vs 34.0%)
- Also higher rates of only basic education (26.3% vs 13.4%)
- Lower rates of upper secondary education (35.0% vs 52.6%)
- Tertiary Education Trends by Gender (2012-2022):
- Both genders show steady increases in tertiary education over the decade
- Women have overtaken men in tertiary education rates since 2016
- The growth rate is slightly higher for women than men
The visualization includes a legend explaining the education level categories (ED0-2, ED3_4, ED5-8) and key insights highlighting the most significant patterns in the data. The charts use a consistent color scheme with tertiary education highlighted in the requested #18baa8 color.
This dashboard provides a nuanced view of educational patterns in Upper Austria, showing the progress toward higher education levels across generations, the changing gender dynamics in education, and the complex educational profile of the migrant population.
