(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 17 - The employment rate for
25-64-year-olds with a university degree in Italy was 84.3% in
2023, 11 percentage points higher than the rate for people who
only have a high-school diploma, Istat said in a report on
Wednesday.
The report said that 24% of young people whose parents have a
low level of education drop out of school early and only 10% of
them obtain a higher-education diploma.
In the case in which the young person has at least one parent
who is a university graduate, on the other hand, the drop-out
rate falls to 2% and and about 70% get degrees.
The report said the proportion of young people in Italy with a
degree has increased, although there remains a gap with respect
to the EU average. (ANSA).
