Does the work-study combination among youth improve the transition path? An updated review
The present brief attempts to revisit some of the results on the work-study combination of youth, using new data from the School-to-work- transition surveys (SWTS) carried out in 2014/15. The purpose of this technical brief is twofold: firstly, it aims to analyse the work-study combination in relationship to the labour market outcomes of youth using the pathways grid of the SWTS and see if the results support those reported in the previous analysis of the 2012/13 surveys. Secondly, it aims to utilize the new datasets to explore the possible heterogeneity of benefits across a number of subpopulations, distinguishing alternate types of combinations.
