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.
