The Youth Employment Study (YES): End of Study Report

The Youth Employment Study (YES) was a research study investigating the employment, health, and wellbeing of young Australians during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Between 2020 and 2022, approximately 350 young Australians aged 15-24 years participated in three surveys 12-months apart. Alongside the surveys, 24 young people with intellectual and/or psychosocial disability, who may be under-represented in the surveys, participated in qualitative interviews. In addition to investigating employment in the context of the pandemic, the YES Study explored health, wellbeing, and other individual factors.
