Centre for Analysis of Youth Transitions
Research

Research at the Centre is based on the following themes:

  • Risky behaviours and positive activities
    • This theme is concerned with a variety of behaviours and activities that can potentially lead either to unfavourable or indeed enhanced outcomes for young people.

  • Education and employment
    • This theme is concerned with transitions both within the compulsory education phase and beyond.

  • Disadvantaged and vulnerable groups
    • For some groups of children, the pressures on their lives stemming from within their family, their peers, or the wider community will increase the chances of taking part in risky behaviours.

  • Methodology
    • Researchers at CAYT will use the most appropriate methodology for the policy issue at hand, whether quantitative or qualitative.
