The dataset contains annual regional data for 26 European Union countries, disaggregated at the NUTS-1 level. The countries covered are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Latvia, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Slovenia, and Slovakia. The NUTS-1 codes identify the first-level administrative regions within these countries.

The dataset includes the following variables: annual output per worker growth (in percent), the natural logarithm of initial gross value added (GVA) per worker, and the share of the population with low and high levels of education based on the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED). This structure allows for analyzing regional economic performance in relation to educational attainment across the European Union.
