DescriptionThe Youth Cohort Study (YCS) is a series of longitudinal surveys that contacts a sample of an academic year-group or "cohort" of young people in the spring following completion of education and usually annually until they are aged 19 or 20.

In this case, the young people will have been surveyed for the fourth time since leaving compulsory education.
