Abstract

A key indicator of human development and socio-economic progress, the level of education of the resident population has risen rapidly over the intercensal period 2011-2021: almost half (48.3%) of adults under 40 have a tertiary education (28% of whom have a Master's degree or higher).
These changes conceal differences between Luxembourg-born and foreign-born people, major inequalities between immigrants according to their national origin, between "golden immigration" and immigration for low-skilled work, and also
major generational disparities. These inequalities in qualifications are a feature of Luxembourg's territory, as they accompany the effects of centrality
that set the most economically active areas, close to the capital, against the more remote communes, particularly in the northern half of the country, but also in the post-industrial south
Translated title of the contributionEducation levels of the Luxembourg population: People born in border countries have the highest proportion of Masters-level graduates and above.
