This CAYT (Centre for the Analysis of Youth Transitions) report examines the transitions that new graduates make as they leave university and enter the labour market. It investigates the extent to which on exit from university, students from different socio-economic backgrounds are more or less likely to enter a status occupation.
The report uses data on first degree graduates leaving higher education in 2006/7 who have been surveyed at 6 months and 3 years after graduation. The data are from the Higher Education Statistics Agency Longitudinal Destination of Leavers from Higher Education and includes students graduating from Scottish, English and Welsh institutions.
A repository of CAYT impact studies is hosted by Mentor-Adepis (Alcohol and Drug Education and Prevention Information Service).
