From 2000 to 2010, the shares of both foreign -and native-born workers with less than a primary education decreased, but the remaining levels rose. While the immigrant workers had a larger increase in primary education compared to native-born workers (35 and 20 percentage points, respectively), the opposite was witnessed when considering secondary and tertiary education. However, the overall share of foreign-bom workers with a tertiary education remained above that of native-born workers by 3.4 percentage points. These increases in educational attainment may partly be driven by supply, while also being linked to a prospering economy and competition.
