previously you told me tertiary education was about the same in France and the UK
It isas percentage of overall population, which are the numbers I did on a back of an envelpe, we have far more doing degrees but less doing technical so the two more or less net out.[/quote]
Lovely theory. The problem is your nested theories have to all be true for you to be correct, but don’t tie up with the numbers. And while you use one part of your theory to try and explain discrepancies in one way, that introduces discrepancies which you try to explain using another theory that doesn’t tie up with the first.
You still can’t offer a salient, men only event that would explain why men aged 20-24 in 2015 and 2016 on the OECD data seems out of kilter with the rest of the OECD data for other years or men or women and also with the Eurostat data.
You are hanging the your entire theory on two data points out of dozens. And more worryingly they are the last two data points in a series – might be a trend starting, might just be a couple of odd years, might be dicky data.
Ultimately the French and UK positions are similar and have swapped around a bit over the last 10 years.
‘A’ for effort though.
