Talk:Demographics of North Korea

Academic degrees?
The article says, "As of 2008, 8.86% of the population older than 5 years old have attained academic degrees." No source is cited for this, but more importantly, why would one measure the percentage of the population with academic degrees by looking at people over age 5? You don't see any 6-year-olds with bachelor's degrees either in North Korea or elsewhere in the world. I would think that we would want to know the percentage of the population over (for example) age 25 or thereabouts with academic degrees, because few people earn their degrees before age 21. Compare List of countries by tertiary education attainment, where the relevant population is people between ages 25 and 64. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:22, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
