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.

Main Topics: Sweep One The questionnaire for Sweep One included the following information:<ul><li>attitude towards school in 4th and 5th years</li><li>qualification attainment in 5th year</li><li>education and career advice</li><li>activities since last September (unemployment, youth training scheme (YTS), employment, education)</li><li>plans and views on the future</li><li>classificatory variables include gender, socio-economic grade of parents, school type, region, ethnicity and disability</li></ul>Sweep Two The questionnaire for Sweep Two included the following information:<ul><li>activities in the past year (unemployment, YTS, employment, education) </li><li>part-time employment</li><li>qualifications achieved since the 5th year</li><li>plans and views on the future</li></ul>Sweep Three The questionnaire for Sweep Three included the following information:<ul><li> activities in the past year (unemployment, YTS, employment, education)</li><li>courses and qualifications currently studying towards</li><li>part-time and self-employed employment</li><li>qualifications attempted since 5th year</li><li>higher education courses</li><li>plans and views on the future</li></ul> 1987 - 199301 January 198701 January 1993 England and Wales IndividualsNationalYoung people 16 to 19 year olds (Sweeps One-Three) and 22-23 year olds (Sweep Four) in England and Wales. 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.
