Summary
The Transitions from Education to Employment (TREE) study tracks Swiss youth education and job paths. This longitudinal data provides insights into career development and educational outcomes for two distinct cohorts.
Area of Science:
- Education research
- Sociology
- Economics
Background:
- Longitudinal studies are crucial for understanding developmental trajectories.
- Swiss educational and labor market transitions require in-depth analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To track post-compulsory education and employment pathways.
- To analyze educational and career trajectories of Swiss school leavers.
- To provide longitudinal data for inter-disciplinary research.
Main Methods:
- Prospective, inter-disciplinary, mixed-mode panel study design.
- Follow-up surveys of two Swiss compulsory school leavers' cohorts (TREE1 and TREE2).
- Utilizes data from PISA follow-up and national large-scale assessments.
Main Results:
- TREE1 (PISA 2000 follow-up) has data up to 2020.
- TREE2 (national assessment 2016) has data up to 2022.
- Both cohorts show ongoing data collection with planned future waves.
Conclusions:
- The TREE study offers valuable, long-term data on education-employment transitions.
- Data availability at SWISSUbase facilitates further research on youth development.
- The ongoing nature of the panel ensures continued insights into evolving career paths.

01:22Applications of Life Tables
125
Life tables are versatile across various fields, providing a quantitative basis for analyzing mortality and survival rates. Whether used by demographers, actuaries, epidemiologists, or sociologists, life tables offer valuable insights into the dynamics of life and death, facilitating informed decisions in public health, insurance, conservation, and beyond. Their broad applicability highlights the interconnectedness of demographic data with practical outcomes in everyday life and strategic...

01:19Survival Tree
163
Survival trees are a non-parametric method used in survival analysis to model the relationship between a set of covariates and the time until an event of interest occurs, often referred to as the "time-to-event" or "survival time." This method is particularly useful when dealing with censored data, where the event has not occurred for some individuals by the end of the study period, or when the exact time of the event is unknown.

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

02:20Longitudinal Research
12.5K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

11.9K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.

Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...
