The map reflects the fact that a considerable share of the municipalities in the Nordic region – close to half of them – are above the EU average in terms of persons in working age who are also generally past their student years and carry higher education degrees, i.e. aged 25-64 years. The map also highlights the influence that higher education provision in a municipality has on the share of that population with a higher education degree. The ten municipalities with the highest levels of higher education, above 60%, are all to be found in the largest city regions. Low shares, below 20% (brown hues), apply to a handful of municipalities in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, respectively.
