Abstract
This research compares educational trajectories and labour market outcomes for men and women and for those who follow academic and more vocational pathways into work. We address three core topics:- 1) changes in the educational expectations and career orientation of young people; 2) pathways taken by young men and women through the education system and into their early career, differentiating between those on academic pathways and those on vocational pathways; 3) labour market outcomes, focusing on young people through to their early thirties. Quantitative data was used from two recent cohorts of young people in England: Next Steps – which comprises individuals born in 1989/1990 - and the Our Future cohort who were born around 10 years later. This yields large samples of individuals with rich longitudinal data on their social background and education.
