Item 4 Overview of the 2016 AES & 2015 CVTS data collection Sabine.Gagel@ec.europa.eu Eurostat F3 Education and Training Statistics Working Group – 18-19 June 2018

Introduction (1) 2016 AES and 2015 CVTS data collection rounds are completed 2016 AES data online October 2017: 21 countries = very timely Other countries released as data became available Only IE missing (derogation) 2015 CVTS data online Majority of data: end of January 2018 Cost data: end of April 2018 Delays due to IT and resource problems

Introduction (2) Online tables – improved presentation Comparable data for all available years AES: 2007, 2011, 2016 CVTS: 2005, 2010, 2015 Detailed information on indicator calculations National quality reports (via ESMS) Today: overview on the two data collections Main requirements (legislation) Tables with key information Focus on compliance issues DSS to be informed in written form after ETS WG

2016 AES – legal requirements Coverage Age 25-64, resident population Data collection period (fieldwork) 01/07/2016 – 31/03/2017; derogations: IE, FR, FI Data and metadata transmission Microdata: 6 months after national data collection period; derogations: BE, MT Quality report: 3 months after microdata transmission Precision requirement List of variables Random selection of 2 NFE activities

2016 AES – compliance issues Coverage: Resident population: in private HH in most countries UK (England only) Data collection period: DK, IT, HU (3) Microdata transmission: DK, EE, FR, IT, CY, HU, SI (7) QR transmission: BE, BG, DK, EE, FR, IT, CY, LT, PT, SI, SK, SE, UK (13) Precision requirement: BG, NL, FI, SE, UK, NO (6) Remark: Countries choose the calculation method  impact on the value List of variables: overall OK, some filter problems Random selection of 2 NFE: EE, SI (2)

2015 CVTS – legal requirements Coverage Enterprises in NACE B-N+R-S with 10 or more persons employed Reference period Calendar year 2015 Data and metadata transmission Microdata after 18 months: 30/06/2017 Quality report after 21 months: 30/09/2017 Sampling requirements Business register, stratification by NACE and size List of variables Core variables: no missings; key variables: to be imputed

2015 CVTS – compliance issues Coverage: NACE: no issues; persons employed: BE, ES (employees) FR: metropolitan France Reference year: no issues Microdata transmission: EL, FR, IT, PT (4) QR transmission: DE, EL, FR, IT, AT, PL, SI, SE, UK (9) Sampling frame: ES (social security contribution account file) Stratification: no issues List of variables: overall OK, some issues with core and key variables Quality concern: unit non-response in some countries

Next steps AES 2022 New context: under framework regulation IESS Changes: age 18-69, standardised variables, self- perceived skills AES Task Force to prepare implementing act, i.e. list of variables, data collection period, etc. First meeting in September 2018; 15 countries CVTS 2020 Legislation: no changes planned (CVTS 2020 = CVTS 2015) December 2018: workshop on best practices and quality improvements All MS invited to contribute actively

The ETS Working Group is invited to Comment on the 2016 AES and 2015 data collection round. Approve the overview tables as presented in the annexes of the document.
