Abstract	This study examines non-completion of Year 12 at school for a nationally representative sample of young people who were 15 years old and still attending school in 2003. The study explores relationships between non-completion and selected socio-demographic and school-related factors, and changes in rates of school non-completion from the early 1980s to 2005. There is a particular emphasis on how socio-demographic and school-related factors over that period have influenced early school leaving. This study also examines the use of an alternative measure of "school completion," which incorporates participation in a vocational education and training program after leaving school. The study finds that those most likely to have left school early between 2003 and 2005 are Indigenous young people, young people from non-nuclear families, those whose parents worked in blue-collar occupations or were other than university-educated, those who were from nonmetropolitan locations, those born in Australia, those who were low academic achievers and those who were from government schools. Appended are: (1) The 2003 Cohort of 15 Year-Olds; (2) Measures; (3) Analytic Techniques; (4) Achievement Domains and School Non-Completion; and (5) Supplementary Tables. (Contains 31 tables, 20 figures, and 14 footnotes.)
