GENERATION Survey: Young People, Release 3 (Wave 1-3)

GENERATION is a new study of young Australians to understand youth transitions from school to post school destinations, including a focus on how the COVID-19 pandemic may influence decisions and pathways. GENERATION tracks the interests, hopes and aspirations of young people. A representative group of Year 10 students (around 15 years of age), from over 300 schools across Australia, participated in the first wave of the study in 2022. Two additional surveys were completed in 2023 (Wave 2) and 2024 (Wave 3). The study aims to run for a decade, concluding in 2032 when the cohort is aged 25. The GENERATION survey, is conducted in partnership between the Australian National University and the Australian Department of Education, with advice from educational units of all Australian state and territory governments and a scientific advisory group.
