This report focuses on the numbers of Australian young people who do not complete Year 12. It includes those who do not continue secondary school beyond Years 10 and 11 as well as those who leave during Year 12 before obtaining a certificate. The analyses explored school-to-work transitions, including participation in paid work, entry to further education and training and experiences of unemployment. Outcomes from the early 1980s are compared to outcomes from the late 1980s and early 1990s.
