From Statistics Canada 1999-2000 11.5 percent 2000-2001 11.1 percent 2001-2002 10.8 percent 2002-2003 10.8 percent 2003-2004 9.7 percent 2004-2005 9.8 percent (data from 2005 on is not in yet) Recently, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) compiled drop-out rate data from Labour Force Surveys in 25 countries. Using the same definition as in this report, it showed that in 2002, Canada was near the middle of the pack. The drop-out rate in Canada for the 2002 calendar year was 10.9%, somewhat below the rate in the United States (12.3%) the year earlier. In the OECD study, the country with a drop-out rate most similar to Canada's was Finland. Although Canada has a lower drop-out rate than many countries, the rate is lower in nine other countries in the OECD study, most notably Norway, where the drop-out rate was only 4.6%. http://www.statcan.ca/english/freepub/81-004-XIE/2005004/drop.htm#a Aug 23 06, 4:33 PM

USA See Table 3--As of YEAR 2000 there is a dropout rate of approximately 11 percent. In October 2000, some 3.8 million young adults were not enrolled in a high school program and had not completed high school. These youths accounted for 10.9 percent of the 34.6 million 16- through 24-year-olds in the United States in 2000 (table A, figure A, and table 3). As noted with event rates, status rates declined from the early 1970s into the late 1980s, but since then have remained stable (figure 2 and table B5). http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2002/droppub_2001/Figs.asp Aug 24 06, 4:11 PM

What is the surface area difference between an average size man shaving his face and an average woman shaving her legs, or how many faces does it take to cover two legs?
