Educational Qualifications relate to education outside of primary and secondary school and are one of the most important indicators of socio-economic status. They apply only to people over the age of 15 and include only qualifications gained outside of schooling.
Qualification levels are typically higher among the young (but old enough to have finished school) and decreases with age, due to the increasing importance of education in the job market over time. Australia-wide, females are more likely to have Bachelor or Higher Degree qualifications, while a greater proportion of males have vocational/certificate level qualifications, which are more often associated with trades.
