  1. AES progress report and future plans Point 6 of the agenda Meeting of the Education and Training Statistics Working Group Luxembourg, 8-10 October 2008 Room Quetelet

  2. COVERAGE AND SAMPLE SIZES • 29 countries from EU, EEC and Candidate countries • Data received represents countries with combined population >350m • Target population of data received > 194m • Over 135, 000 respondents so far. • Sample sizes ranges from about 2,000 to 28,000 • Spain, Italy and Poland represent more than half of total sample size • Cyprus had largest sample size in reference to total population

  3. METHODOLOGY – SAMPLING AND INTERVIEWS • Standard questionnaire and classification of activities • Sampling: Simple random, stratified simple random, multi-stage stratified, multi-stage, multi-stratified sampling. • Interview: CATI , CAPI or a combination of the two, PAPI face to face • Proxy interviews allowed in only a few countries • Weighting methods by mainly gender and age • AES as stand-alone survey in most countries, few included in other surveys • Reference period - 12 months

  4. STATUS OF AES DATA

  5. STATUS OF MICRO-DATA • 29 sets of micro-data, control tables and quality reports expected • 20 sets of micro data received • 19 control tables received • 15 quality reports received • 14 sets of micro data approved • 6 sets of micro data under validation • 3 sets of micro data at the preparatory stage

  6. RESULTS FROM AES PILOT - FED

  7. RESULTS – PARTICIPATION RATES IN FED • Significant country differences, 2.3 % - 15.1 % • Systematic higher rates compared with LFS-2003 • General high rates among women • High rates among younger age groups • Higher rates among those with tertiary education • Unemployed and inactive participate more • High rates among highly skilled white collar jobs • More participation in densely populated areas

  8. Participation in FED – LFS-2003 and AES

  9. PARTICIPATION IN FED AND NFE LFS/AES

  10. RESULTS FROM AES PILOT - NFE

  11. Participation in NFE – LFS-2003 and AES

  12. RESULTS - PARTICIPATION RATES IN NFE • High rates of participation ranging from 6.8 % to 69.4 % • Systematic higher rates compared with LFS-2003 • No significant gender differences • Less differences among age groups • Respondents with higher education participate more • High rates among the employed • Highly skilled white collar holders participate more • No significant differences in degree of urbanisation

  13. Participation and non-participation FED/NFE

  14. OTHER RESULTS • Minor gender differences in rates of non-participation • Densely populated areas have low non-participation rates • ''To do a better job/improve career prospects' dominates reasons for participation in NFE • Social science, business and law has largest share of participants in both FED and NFE • Median cost of participation is higher for lower age groups • Share of instruction hours is also dominated by social science, business and law

  15. CHALLENGES, PROBLEMS FROM PILOT • Methodology and quality problems of informal education • Problems with selection of number of activities • Participation in job-related and for private reasons • Low participation rates in certain countries • Comparability with other surveys like the LFS • Missing values in some questions/variables • Not included variables • Non response in some of the modules

  16. SUGGESTIONS FROM QUALITY REPORTS • Training of interviewers on concepts and classifications • Review of length and content of questionnaire • Extension of age-range • Inclusion of other variables on skills • Better definition of informal education and training • Job-related and non-job related activities • Duration of activities, months not hours.

  17. PLANS FOR DISSEMINATION • Publication of results from first group of countries on the 24th October 2008 • First group: AT, BG, CY, DE, EE, ES, FI, FR, GR, HU, IT, LT, LV, NO, PL, SE, SK, UK • Release of anonymised micro-data for research by the end of year • Publication of Statistics in Focus based on results by the end of the year • Gradual update for rest of the countries • Completed data sets by 2009.

  18. PLANS FOR FURTHER WORK • Analysis and publication of results from pilot • Anonymisation and release of micro-data • Review of pilot and recommendations for next AES • Task Force for further work on AES, mandate and membership • Work towards a Commission Regulation • Development of next AES, questionnaire/manual • Implementation of next AES hopefully latter part of 2011

  19. DISCUSSION POINTS • Timing of next AES • AES and EHS • The AES Task Force
