In today's labour market it has become increasingly important to set yourself apart from other people and increase your chances of gaining employment. But how can you do this?

A recent study done by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) called Education at a Glance 2013: OECD Indicators highlights the "state of education around the world". The report provides detailed data on the structure, finances and preformance of education systems in more than 40 countries around the world.

The OECD highlight the importance of reducing the risk of unemployment by obtaining a higher education. An increased demand "in the labour market for a more highly educated workers" means that having a higher education results in better opportunities and "an increase in earnings".
