Abstract: This report is based on the rich data available in the second cohort of the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England (LSYPE2) and examines the 'alternative' post-16 pathways of young people who do not enter university immediately upon finishing school or college at age 17/18. This report seeks to describe their transitions in detail, understand which pathways are the most common, who is following them, and explore whether it is possible to predict which young people diverge from the traditional university route immediately after Year 13, either by choice or through being filtered differentially by the education system. Overall, the analysis shows the full diversity of the non-direct to university cohort in the first four years post-16 and sets out a broader range of potential routes at this critical juncture than in previous research. By considering the monthly activity histories of young people alongside reports of additional qualifications being undertaken rather than a single indicator of what individuals report as their main economic activity measured annually, this analysis captures the minutiae of different types of transitions and highlights some of the more vulnerable pathways which arguably do not get as much exposure or comparison as others. This analysis underpins a second related report which focuses on the differential educational, material, employment and wellbeing outcomes for each of the pathway groups at age 19/20.
