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

Methodological note

The indicator measures the employment rates of persons aged 20 to 34 fulfilling the following conditions: first, being employed according to the ILO definition, second, having attained at least upper secondary education (ISCED 3) as the highest level of education, third, not having received any education or training in the four weeks preceding the survey and four, having successfully completed their highest educational attainment 1, 2 or 3 years before the survey. The indicator is calculated based on data from the EU Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS).

Eurostat removed the indicator in 2021 and Catalonia removed it in 2022.
