It tries to identify and explain the factors which influence post-16 transitions, for example, educational attainment, training opportunities, experiences at school. To date the YCS covers thirteen cohorts and over forty surveys. The first cohort was first surveyed in 1985 and the thirteenth in 2007. The questionnaires have been designed, over the years, to be broadly comparable, but external changes and shifts in policy interest have brought about changes - some minor, some fundamental. Cohorts One to Twelve cover England and Wales but a change to the methodology means that from Cohort Thirteen, data cover England only. For further details of the methodology and coverage, see the documentation. The UK Data Archive currently holds data for the cohorts listed below:<ul><li>Cohort One (SN 3093) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1983-84</li><li>Cohort Two (SN 3094) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1984-85</li><li>*Cohort Three (SN 3012) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1985-86</li><li>Cohort Four (SN 3107) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1987-88</li><li>Cohort Five (SN 3531) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1989-90</li><li>Cohort Six (SN 3532) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1990-91</li><li>Cohort Seven (SN 3533) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1992-93</li><li>Cohort Eight (SN 3805) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1995-96</li><li>Cohort Nine (SN 4009) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1996-97</li><li>Cohort Ten (SN 4571) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 1998-99</li><li>Cohort Eleven (SN 5452) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 2000-01</li><li>Cohort Twelve (SN 5830) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 2002-03</li></li><li>Cohort Thirteen (SN 6024) surveyed those eligible to leave school in 2005-06</li></ul>*Some teaching materials using the data from Cohort Three have been developed. Details are available from the <a href="http://www.data-archive.ac.uk/media/185474/tramsswebsite_archive.pdf" title="Teaching Resources and Materials for Social Scientists (TRAMSS)">Teaching Resources and Materials for Social Scientists (TRAMSS)</a> website. Main Topics: Sweeps One to Four mainly focused on identifying respondents' economic activity, their qualifications gained and sought, current work details as well as some background information about their families and a small amount of attitudinal and background information. In addition, a sub-sample for Sweeps One to Three were asked extra questions to evaluate the new Connexions service launched in 2001. This service aims to provide young people with guidance, support and advice in their decision-making about the future. The Connexions questionnaire covers: <li>awareness of Connexions service <li>contact with Connexions <li>questions about Careers service (if not aware of Connexions) <li>advice received <li>assessments of Connexions Sweeps Two and Three also involved taking a sub-sample of high-achieving respondents (using information from the first sweep) and asking them about their experiences, views and attitudes towards higher education. All cohort members who had achieved Level 2 qualifications by the end of Year 11 and who had responded to the Higher Education (HE) telephone module at Sweep Two received the core questionnaire and the HE module, covering: <li>those currently in HE: entry routes and changes of plan since C11S2 <li>current experiences/difficulties of HE and information available <li>student finances <li>sources and coping strategies <li>career plans and HE <li>those not in HE: future likelihood and current activities <li>gap years <li>those not in HE: likelihood of future HE entry and attitudes towards HE In Sweep Four there were no additional questions for these sub-samples and these respondents were included in the main sample. England and Wales IndividualsNationalYoung people Young people who reached minimum school leaving age in the 2000/2001 school year Numeric Longitudinal/panel/cohort Simple random sampleMulti-stage stratified random sampleMulti-stage stratified random sampling was used for Cohorts One-Five, but the YCS sample has been a single-stage simple random sample since Cohort Six (see Courtenay, G. The YCS - the first ten years). In spring of the sampling year all schools in England and Wales (excluding special schools), both state maintained and private sector, are sent a return form for sampling. This gives a number of dates, e.g. the 5th, 15th and 25th, and all pupils on the Year 11 roll whose birth dates coincide are sampled. Usually three dates are specified giving a simple random sample of just under 10%. Occasionally more dates are given, either to draw a larger sample overall or only in specific geographical areas where the Principal Investigators wish to over-sample, e.g. the sampling for Cohort Eleven specified three dates for most schools but four dates for schools in LEAs with a high proportion of pupils in ethnic minorities. There are some difficulties with school-level non-response at the sampling stage and to compensate for this there is a further stage of sampling before Sweep One. Here the initial sample is sub-sampled to give a Sweep One final sample that is representative of a population matrix of pupil numbers by school type by sex by region.
