The Youth Cohort Study (YCS) is a series of longitudinal surveys that contacts a sample of an academic year-group or "cohort" of young people in the spring following completion of education and usually again one or two years later. The survey looks at young people's education and labour market experience, their training and qualifications and a range of other issues, including socio-demographic variables. This Statistical First Release provides summary findings of the most recent survey of 18 year olds from the tenth Youth Cohort Study (YCS). The survey was carried out in the Spring 2002 when respondents were in their third academic year after completing compulsory education. The SFRs on 16 and 17 year olds from the tenth cohort were published on 31 October 2001.
