The situation of young people today is substantially different from that which prevailed twenty-five years ago. Compared with their counterparts in the late 1970s and the early 1980s, a much higher proportion pursues their education is for a longer period - frequently now to degree level. Unemployment among young people appears to have been declining, assisted by a sustained period of economic growth through the mid- and late 1990s. In other areas of their lives, young people now behave differently. Marriage has become less popular as young men and women choose to live alone or with other single friends. The average age of women at the birth of their first child continues to rise as family formation plans are postponed or scaled back while women opt instead to pursue full-time employment. To examine these changing routes into employment and adulthood, the research took advantage of a unique and valuable research resource.
