The share of the working-age population with intermediate education in Latin America showcases significant variation by country in 2024. Bolivia leads with a high percentage, followed by Peru and Honduras, indicating robust educational attainment in these countries. Conversely, Mexico and the Dominican Republic report the lowest shares, suggesting potential challenges in educational progression.
From 2023 to 2024, notable year-on-year increases were seen in Bolivia and El Salvador, signaling improvements in educational outcomes. However, countries like Brazil, Guatemala, and Chile experienced declines, reflecting a need for renewed educational strategies.
Looking forward, the region's educational strategies should focus on enhancing access and quality of intermediate education, especially in countries with negative trends, to ensure a skilled labor force that can support economic growth.
