England qualification levels for STEM employees
Data about highest qualifications prior to early career employment in England in STEM occupations, using pooled employment data from 2016-17, 2017-18, and 2018-19 tax years; where an employee appears more than once, we take the information from the latest tax year observed. Further details are available in the publication methodology.
The 'stem_qualification' measure shows the share of people having a STEM-related qualification, within groups defined by level of highest qualification held and gender.
