Educational attainment of the population in 2022

Large differences in the level of education between metropolitan municipalities and smaller municipalities

Statistical news from Statistics Sweden 2023-06-20 8.00

The level of education is higher in metropolitan municipalities than in smaller municipalities. In metropolitan municipalities, almost four out of ten have at least a three-year post-secondary education. In smaller municipalities, two out of ten have at least a three-year post-secondary education.

The high level of education in the Stockholm area is largely explained by the abundant presence of workplaces in industries with a large proportion of highly educated employees. This area also offers a wide range of higher education and has a relatively young population with a higher formal level of education than the older population.
