Figure 4.1.1. Educational attainment of persons at risk of statelessness vs overall sample (%) 45 36 29 21 21 20 15 Southern and EasternSerbia 13 Belgrade Vojvodina Persons at risk of statelessness Western Serbia and Šumadija Average The educational attainment data for both groups reveal that persons at risk of statelessness are less educated than the entire community sample. One-third of those at risk of statelessness (35 percent) reported not having any formal education, which is 15 percent fewer than the rest of the informal settlement population. Moreover, the findings indicate there were 10 percentage points fewer elementary school graduates, and 5 percentage points fewer secondary school graduates, amongst persons at risk of statelessness when compared to the overall sample. Persons at risk of statelessness, or at least the heads of their households, were on average slightly younger than the sample (at 40 years of age), whilst their households were much more numerous, at 5.94 vs 5.2 persons for the sample as a whole.
