School-to-Work Transition Survey (SWTS)

The School-to-Work Transition Survey (SWTS) is a statistical tool designed by the ILO to assist countries in improving the design of youth employment policies and programmes. Specifically, the survey allows for analysis of both quantitative and qualitative variables that define the relative ease or difficulty of young people’s transition from school-to work-life. Among such variables are young people’s education and training experience; their perceptions and aspirations in terms of employment; the job search process, barriers to and supports for entry into the labour market; the preference for wage employment or self-employment; attitudes of employers towards hiring young workers; working conditions and earnings, etc.
