This report focuses on a group of young people who are not involved in full-time education or the labour force, that is, they are not studying full-time, nor are they working or looking for work. The data used in this report are drawn from the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY), which studies the progress of cohorts of young Australians as they make the transitions from secondary school to work and further education and training, beginning in Year 9. Two groups of young people who had experienced some time outside the labour force and full-time education were investigated in this report. The first and larger group consisted of those young people from the 1995 LSAY cohort who had not been involved in full-time education or the labour force for at least one month between January 1997 and December 2003. The second group consisted of those young men and women who were not involved in education and training or the labour force at the time of the annual surveys from 1999 to 2003. Major findings of the investigation are summarised. Appended are: (1) Data and Variables; (2) Methodology; (3) Supplementary Tables. (Contains 18 tables.) [This report forms part of the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth, a research program jointly managed by ACER and the Australian Government Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST).]
