Dutch School Leaver Survey 2017 on Education-Work Transition

Aggregating the 2017 Dutch School Leaver Survey (SVO), which examines the transition from school to work or further education for graduates and early leavers from secondary vocational (MBO) and pre-university (VO) education. It was conducted by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science to monitor the alignment between completed education and subsequent employment.

Use Cases

• Compare transition outcomes for graduates who obtained their diploma versus those who left education prematurely.
• Study the connection from school to work or to a follow-up study for secondary vocational and pre-university education leavers.

Strengths

• Based on the official School Leaver Survey (SVO) conducted by the national statistics office (CBS).
• Data is processed to exclude recognition of individuals and households, ensuring privacy protection.
• Supports monitoring of the macrodoelmatigheid mbo law's effect on education-work alignment.

Limitations

• Specific sample size, column details, and file structure are not provided in the input.
• The dataset is a protected microfile with potentially restricted access compared to other versions.
