Kylie Hillman
The 1998 Year 9 Cohort (Y98) In 1998, a nationally representative sample of approximately 14,000 Year 9 students was selected to form the second cohort of the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth. The sample was constructed by randomly selecting two Year 9 classes from a sample of schools designed to represent state and sector. Reading and numeracy tests were administered to students in their schools to provide information on early school achievement for use in later analyses of educational and labour market participation. Students also completed a background questionnaire about their educational and vocational plans and attitudes to school. Details …
Movement Of Non-Metropolitan Youth Towards The Cities, Kylie Hillman, Sheldon Rothman
Movement Of Non-Metropolitan Youth Towards The Cities, Kylie Hillman, Sheldon Rothman
Kylie Hillman
This report focuses on a group of young people who were living in non-metropolitan areas in their final years of secondary school, and the pathways they followed in the years following secondary school, including their geographic mobility and participation in education, training and employment. Rural communities have long felt concern about the rate at which young people leave for urban areas, many never to return. This report analyses the issues involved by mapping the experiences of the same group of young people over an extended period of time. The authors investigate what pathways non-metropolitan youth follow in the years after …
The Migration Of Non-Metropolitan Youth Towards The Cities, Kylie Hillman
The Migration Of Non-Metropolitan Youth Towards The Cities, Kylie Hillman
Kylie Hillman
Rural communities in Australia have long felt concern about the rate at which young people leave home to head for major cities, many never to return. Kylie Hillman explores the extent of this problem. The latest results from the long-running Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY), published in late February, show that more than one third of young Australians from non-metropolitan areas relocate to a major city in the years immediately after leaving school. Although some return in the years to come, non-metropolitan areas experience a net loss of a quarter of their young people.

Becoming An Adult : Leaving Home, Relationships And Home Ownership Among Australian Youth, Kylie Hillman, Gary Marks
Becoming An Adult : Leaving Home, Relationships And Home Ownership Among Australian Youth, Kylie Hillman, Gary Marks
Kylie Hillman
Most studies on the transition from school implicitly assume that adulthood is reached upon gaining full-time work. This report focuses on other aspects of adulthood: moving out of home, establishing a relationship, and buying a house. The report documents the incidence of these events over time and analyses their relationship with social background, demographic and labour market factors. The study uses data from the four Youth in Transition cohorts born in 1961, 1965, 1970 and 1975. [Author abstract]

Against The Odds: Influences On The Post-School Success Of 'Low Performers', Sue Thomson, Kylie Hillman
Against The Odds: Influences On The Post-School Success Of 'Low Performers', Sue Thomson, Kylie Hillman
Kylie Hillman
The link between academic achievement and labour market outcomes is well established. But how well does a student's achievement in a test predict their later success in life? This study examines this question, with 'success' considered to encompass satisfaction with life together with the extent to which young people are fully occupied with education, employment or a combination of these. Low performers in mathematics in the 2003 Programme for International Student Assessment were the focus. The study found that 'low performing' status has little impact on future success. Further, students who saw the value of mathematics for their future success …

School Careers Advice Well Received By Students, Kylie Hillman
Kylie Hillman
An ACER study of young Australians’ perceptions of the career advice received in secondary school has found that almost all students accessed career advice between Years 10 and 12 and believed the information provided met their individual needs. Previous research in the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) has stressed the importance of providing students with quality careers advice during their secondary school years to help ensure that they make informed decisions about course choices and the impact poor choices can sometimes have on future career prospects. This latest LSAY study, published in October 2008, found that the vast majority …
