Labour supply among highly-educated women, i.e. women who have completed a vocational college or university education, is 84 percent above the nationwide average. COROP areas with comparatively many highly-educated female residents are mainly found in the provinces of North and South Holland and in university towns like Utrecht, Nijmegen and Groningen.
The Greater Amsterdam and The Hague regions have many highly-educated women as well as a female labour supply above average (87 percent in both regions).
Large regional differences after correction for age and education level: Correction for age and education level results in a change in labour supply by more than 2.5 percentage points in 7 of the 43 (sub)COROP areas. In Amsterdam, correction for age and education level leads to a decrease in labour supply by 6 percentage points, due to overrepresentation of young and highly-educated people.
Conversely, labour supply increases after correction for age and education level in areas with many older residents. Yet differences between the various regions remain large. After correction, female labour supply ranges between 57 and 67 percent. COROP area Other Groot-Rijnmond remains the region with the lowest labour supply, whereas the highest labour supply after correction for age and education level is recorded in Other Greater Amsterdam.
