Measuring school-to-work transition using labour force surveys
摘要
Following International Labour Organization—ILO guidelines, this paper proposes a novel methodology for measuring the School-to-Work transition of Colombian young people, using labour force survey. The methodology draws on the analytical framework of the School-to-Work Transition Survey (SWTS), on the basis of which it defines procedures to measure the share of employed youth who have transitioned to their first stable or satisfactory job in Colombia. The results demonstrate concordance and equivalence between the School-to-Work Transition Survey and the Labour Force Survey, which opens up new possibilities for using labour force surveys as an input to measure the transition to the world of work in other countries and contexts.
