Abstract	A study examined unemployment among Australian young people between 1980-94, using data obtained from the four Youth in Transition cohorts born in 1961, 1965, 1970, and 1975. It investigated factors that influenced becoming unemployed and leaving unemployment. Findings indicated that low school achievement in literacy and numeracy was consistently associated with youth unemployment, with effects continuing through to age 33; year 12 completion reduced incidence of unemployment, especially between ages 18-22; post-school qualifications were of little benefit in preventing unemployment; men were generally more likely to become unemployed and were less likely to become unemployed and to exit unemployment compared to women when post-school qualifications and labor market experience were taken into account; age had a strong effect, with older young people less likely to become unemployed; background characteristics, such as socioeconomic background and ethnicity had moderate effects on becoming unemployed; the national unemployment rate for the whole labor force had a positive relationship with youth unemployment in the two older cohorts; and influences on duration of unemployment were school achievement, year 12 completion, having a degree (at age 22), marriage, and, especially, unemployment experience.
