ASSESSMENT OF THE EVOLUTION OF THE EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT IN ECONOMICALLY ACTIVE POPULATION IN THE REGIONS OF THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC

Summary/Abstract: The economic development of countries is closely connected to human resources development. Education plays a pivotal role in the life of an individual and society as it provides chances for personal development and economic development of society. The Slovak Republic has been unable to cope with profound regional disparities in various areas for a long time. The existence of disparities is demonstrated by the evolution of educational attainment, which is integral to economic and regional development. The purpose of the paper was to determine the evolution of educational attainment of the economically active population in the regions of the Slovak Republic from 2000 to 2020. The educational attainment index was used to assess educational attainment. The research findings show that the educational attainment of the economically active population and employed population is increasing and is the highest in Bratislava. The educational level of the unemployed rises and falls irregularly depending on how the labour market evolves.
