Abstract

This Key Findings report presents summary information on the lives and circumstances of the 20-year-olds from the fourth wave of interviews with Growing Up in Ireland’s older Cohort ’98 between August 2018 and June 2019. It focuses on young adults’ achievements at the end of second-level education, the profile of those who left school before the Leaving Certificate and the reasons for their departure. The report looks at participation in post-school education and training, how students funded their education/training and the extent of direct and indirect support from their parents. Finally, it examines whether the jobs held by 20-year-olds are stop-gaps or a step on the career ladder, and the kinds of qualities they value in jobs.
