During the last decade undergraduate university enrolments have grown considerably. To explore whether young people who would have previously chosen an apprenticeship have instead entered university, this analysis uses data from the Longitudinal Surveys of Youth (LSAY) to compare the characteristics of apprenticeship-bound with university-bound young people and to look at if they have changed over time.
This research examined the lived experiences of young people aged about 20 in 2020, during the second wave of COVID-19 infections in Australia.
