- Summary
- This publication presents the findings of Canada's Youth in Transition Survey, which complements OECD's PISA survey and offers significant new policy insights in understanding students' choices at different ages and the impact of these decisions on consequent education and labor market outcomes. YITS is a longitudinal study that tracks 30,000 Canadian students who took part in the PISA 2000 assessment and, with interviews every two years, follows their progress from secondary school into higher education and the labor market.--Publisher's description.
