Glossary:Adult education survey (AES)

From Statistics Explained

The Adult education survey, abbreviated as AES, is a survey carried out by 29 European Union (EU), EFTA and candidate countries between 2005-2008, collecting information on education and lifelong learning activities by individuals aged 25-64 living in private households. The AES, which uses 2007 as a reference year, was a pilot exercise, and there are plans to conduct additional surveys every 5 years. The survey allows for international comparisons of education, occupation and economic activity.
