1. The longitudinal cohort used for this table consists of young adults who were 15 years of age in Cycle 1 of YITS in 1999 and who remained in the survey in Cycle 6 (in 2009). Data in this table reflect the situation of this group at the end of the following reference periods: December 2005 (age 21), December 2007 (age 23) and December 2009 (age 25). The cohort is representative of Canadians who were 15 years of age as of December 1999 (Cycle 1 of YITS). However, because of changes over time in the population of young adults in Canada, primarily due to immigration and emigration, the cohort does not represent a cross-section of the overall population at age 21 (December 2005), age 23 (December 2007), and 25 (December 2009).
2. Additional education includes one or more of the following: eventual high school completion or its equivalent, some postsecondary education, or postsecondary graduation.
3. The province in which high school was last attended.
Notes: This table differs from other versions previously published by the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program (PCEIP) and is thus not comparable with those earlier versions.
