The essence of Longitu dinal data is that the same people are surveyed on a regular basis over time. By surveying the same young people overtime it is possible to build an un derstanding of the chan ges taking place in their lives- and the ways that previous achievement and experience influence what is happening to them now. Besides Longitu dinal data provide the means to un derstand complex and dynamic processes. Factors influencing transitions can be explored, compared and evaluated thu s further enhancing understanding of the mechanism that may facilitate a smoother transition from schooling to the labour market.
This survey can a key requirement for analysing young people' s transition processes and outcomes, and evalu ating the impact of different educational policy framework in Korea.
Most labour-market survey and national educational surveys cover only transitions from the point when people leave education, but our survey review proposed that a stu dy of transitions begin when educational pathways begin to diverge the age of 15-29 years.
