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 annually until they are aged 19 or 20. The survey looks at young people's education and labour market experience, their training and qualifications and a wide range of other issues, including socio-demographic variables. In this case, the young people will have been surveyed for the fourth time since leaving compulsory education.
Revisions and Amendments
