Comment
  • The standard level below which an individual is considered as low-skilled depends, for example, on the general level of education in a society, or on the level of qualifications within an occupation;
  • the actual level of qualification of an individual includes non-formal learning outcomes acquired through continuing training, retraining / reskilling, upskilling, work experience, or personal development.
