Abstract

I. INTRODUCTION The 'traditional' view, in both educational and labour-market policy, of the transition from education to employment centres on the school-leaving decision in other words, on a particular point in time when the individual concerned decides to leave full-time education and enter the labour market. The pattern and timing of school-leaving decisions have given cause for considerable concern amongst policymakers in the UK. Many more individuals leave full-time education Christian Dustmann is a Lecturer in Economics at University College London (UCL) and John Micklewright is ay Professor of Economics at the European University Institute, Florence, and Queen M r and Westfield College, London; both are Research Associatesof the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS). Najma Rajah is a Senior Researcher at IFS and Stephen Smith is Deputy Director of IFS and a Reader in Economics at UCL. Ths paper draws on research funded by the Leverhulme Trust and by the ESRC Research Centre at IFS (grant no.
