2. Structure 1.The assessment of data availability for Torino Process 2010 2.Data availability for Torino Process 2012 (the assessment of countries’ feedbacks) 3. Conclusion

3. DATA COLLECTION – TORINO PROCESS 2010 Extended list of indicators ↓ ETF gathered the data in the following order: 1. International sources (UNESCO, World Bank,…) 2. National (publicly available) sources (LFS, educational data,…) 3. Requests to countries to provide data if not found in step 1 and 2

4. DATA COLLECTION – TORINO PROCESS 2010 3 groups of indicators: • Data on labour market performance (incl. administrative data from public employment services) • Education data (with special focus on VET) • Socio-economic data and international indexes

5. DATA COLLECTION – TORINO PROCESS 2010 We can distinguish between 3 levels of precision: • Exact indicators • Partial indicators • Proxy indicators

18. DATA COLLECTION – TORINO PROCESS 2010 • ENPI East • High data coverage in case of labour market and socio-economic indicators • Some gaps in case of education data - especially VET and adult learning • Comparability issues raised a) the reference population used in case of labour market indicators b) the compliance of education levels with ISCED classification

19. DATA COLLECTION – TORINO PROCESS 2010 Central Asia A rather limited coverage in case of labour market and education data Available data often do not provide detailed information, in particular in the field of VET and adult education Comparability issues raised - compliance of educational levels with ISCED classification

20. TORINO PROCESS 2012 – statistical component Goals: ETF statistical team has collected a restricted list of indicators with basic data on labour market, education and socio-economic context To reflect the ‘real’ data availability and gaps To reflect on ‘how’ to overcome the gaps and enhance mutual learning and cooperation

21. TORINO PROCESS 2012 – feedback from countries – Armenia STRONG POINTS During TP 2010 and 2012 data collections, detailed and updated data on labour market were received. OPPORTUNITIES According to the country’s feedback – detailed education data available from the Statistical Service and Ministry of Education (incl. drop out rates, no. of VET students, expenditure on education etc.).

22. TORINO PROCESS 2012 – feedback from countries – Ukraine STRONG POINTS During TP 2010 and 2012 data collections, detailed data on labour market were found (no significant gaps). OPPORTUNITIES According to the country feedback – strong coverage of labour market indicators confirmed as well as additional education data identified.

23. TORINO PROCESS 2012 – feedback from countries – Belarus STRONG POINTS During TP 2010 and 2012 data collections, a good coverage of labour market data (limited to administrative data only) and of basic education data were obtained. The overview of data availability received from the country confirms such a panorama.

24. TORINO PROCESS 2012 – feedback from countries – Kazakhstan STRONG POINTS During TP 2010 and 2012 data collections, we obtained a good coverage of labour market data (no significant gaps) and of basic education data (gaps identified in case of information requiring further details, especially by programme). The overview of data availability received from the country confirms such a panorama.

25. TORINO PROCESS 2012 – feedback from countries – Kyrgyzstan STRONG POINTS During TP 2010 and 2012 data collections, detailed data on labour market indicators found, while several gaps for education data were identified, when going into detail. The overview of data availability received from the country confirms such a panorama.

26. TORINO PROCESS 2012 – feedback from countries – Tajikistan STRONG POINTS During the TP 2010 and 2012 data collections, detailed information on labour market (limited by the LFS availability) and basic education data were identified. The overview of data availability received from the country confirms the good coverage of labour market data as well as a weaker coverage of different education indicators .

27. TORINO PROCESS 2012 – feedback from countries – Uzbekistan STRONG POINTS During the TP 2010 and 2012 data collections, basic information on labour market and education were found. The overview of data availability received from the country confirms such a panorama and points also to the availability of updated data (in comparison to the findings of Torino Process 2010).

28. Conclusion • More data available than reflected in Torino Process 2010, in particular in the field of education (especially in ENPI east) • Gaps still exist – especially for detailed data on education by programme as well as adult education • Comparability issues – different education classifications are used, and also the age brackets for the employed populations differ.

29. CONCLUSION – remaining questions How to improve the data availability? How can the education data which exist in the countries be better used? How to improve the data sharing among institutions? How to learn from each other and cooperate with regard to the data availability?
