Per the Office of National Statistics: http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/dcp171776_337841.pdf http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/dcp171776_337841.pdf == The population we have used in this report is all adults living in the UK who were not enrolled on any educational course on the survey date. The age range we have focused on is women aged between 21 and 59 and men aged between 21 and 64. The lower age limit of 21 is used as most people will not have been able to complete a graduate level qualification before this age. However, please note also that educational systems are different across the countries of the UK. Upper age limits were used because we wished to focus on people active in the labour market. These particular ages were chosen to maintain consistency throughout the report as some sections consider time periods before changes to state pension ages. In 2013 there were 12 million graduates in the UK In April to June 2013 there were 31 million people in the UK who were not enrolled on any educational course. Breaking these people down by the highest qualification they held: • 12.0 million, or 38% were graduates • 6.7 million, or 21% stated that their highest qualification was of an A level standard • 6.6 million, or 21% stated that their highest qualification was equivalent to an A* to C grade GCSE • 3.1 million, or 10% had “other” qualifications not categorised in the UK • 2.9 million, or 9% had no qualifications
