These statistics have a specific section with all the information available: Economically Active Population Survey (EPA).

Methodological note

The indicator measures the share of the population aged 18 to 24 who at most have achieved lower secondary education and were not involved in any education or training during the four weeks preceding the survey. Lower secondary education refers to ISCED (International Standard Classification of Education) 2011 level 0–2 for data from 2014 onwards and to ISCED 1997 level 0–3C short for data up to 2013. Data stem from the EU Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS). In the case of Catalonia and Spain, it is in the INE's Labour Force Survey integrated.
