Overseas born - Qualifications
In 2021, 28,552 people in City of Manningham [Toggles].[COIIDDisplayLabel] had a tertiary qualification.
Educational Qualifications relate to education outside of primary and secondary school and are one of the most important indicators of socio-economic status. For the overseas-born they are likely to be related to the age and year of migration (younger age groups are more likely to have qualifications generally), and also to the level of skilled migration in the area. The recognition of overseas qualifications in Australia and the Census may also be a factor influencing the qualification levels of migrant communities. Overseas-born populations may have higher or lower qualification levels than the total population, and this may be tied to Employment and Household Income.
Derived from the Census question:
'What is the level of the highest qualification the person has completed?'
