#Rounds to zero.

1 Includes life science; physical science; mathematics/statistics; computer science; and engineering, manufacturing, and construction.

2 Refers to the mean of the data values for all reporting Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, to which each country reporting data contributes equally.

3 Data are for 2013 instead of 2014.

4 Degrees at the associate's level (International Standard Classification of Education 2011 level 5) are included.

NOTE: Data in this table refer to degrees classified as International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) 2011 level 6 (bachelor's or equivalent degree), ISCED 2011 level 7 (master's or equivalent degree), and ISCED 2011 level 8 (doctoral or equivalent degree). Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
