Abstract	Comparable statistics on education, training and skills are not only used by research and analysis to provide explanation and evidence of the functioning of European labour markets and of education and training systems, but also to construct indicators comparing EU Member States, comparing the EU with competitors and assessing the achievement of goals and benchmarks. Although substantial progress has been made, some essential data gaps still remain on issues such as expenditure on vocational education and training (VET), skill mismatches, outcomes of education and training systems, skill and competence levels of populations. Additionally, available data have various drawbacks that limit comparisons across countries and over time, existing sources are not always exploited sufficiently. The article aims to raise awareness of missing key data, and to increase transparency about available data sources, their potential and limits. In this respect, the annex gives a comprehensive overview of existing and forthcoming data sources. (Contains 14 footnotes and 1 table.) (Author).
