Abstract

Recent evidence from the School Leavers’ Survey suggests that young people who enter the labour market after leaving school are likely to be particularly vulnerable in the current economic climate. Since the late 1970s the Economic and Social Research Institute has been carrying out research and publishing data on the employment and education outcomes of school leavers. A new report in this series* suggests that young people who leave school without a Leaving Certificate qualification tend to be more vulnerable to unemployment, and are therefore likely to be particularly vulnerable during the current recession.
