ILO Employment Working Paper No. 51, 2010 - The current thematic synthesis is based on the transition surveys that were conducted in eight countries in Asia, CIS and the Middle East between 2004 and 2006. The survey implementation method differed between countries, but none could have been carried out without active involvement and support of the national statistical offices, research institutes and the ILO constituency. A detailed reporting on the survey results can be found in individual country reports that have already been published. This synthesis pulls together the results from the eight surveys to highlight how such data that extend beyond the scope of standard labour force surveys can both deepen and widen our understanding about youth in their transition from school to work. The report explores how well young men and women are doing in the labour market in terms of security and satisfaction and explores in some depth particular topics such as job search and recruitment methods and the earnings of young workers.
