Remarks
In all three countries professional or managerial jobs require a university degree or equivalent professional qualifications; skilled jobs reflect occupations requiring further training in vocational schools and education after minimum age for leaving school. Semi-or unskilled jobs require little or no training. This was assessed by asking the level of education they had received and the occupation they were in at the moment.
