1. These averages are from Education at a Glance 2012: OECD Indicators, Table A1.2a, Population that has attained at least upper secondary education (2010) and Table A1.2b (Web only), Population of men who has attained at least upper secondary education (2010) and Table A1.2c (Web only), Population of women who has attained at least upper secondary education (2010), which presents the most recent available data for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member countries for which data were available or could be estimated. Please see the OECD Web site.
2. Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates for Canada are derived using the results of the LFS in the provinces; the territories are not included.
3. Caution should be exercised in interpreting these ratios and differences in ratios, as small estimates may present fairly high sampling variability. Estimates for small geographic areas, for small age-groups or for cross-classified variables will be associated with larger variability.
