This report focuses on Year 12 students who apply to go to university but are not offered a place. This group is commonly referred to as indicating a level of unmet demand for university. The size and nature of the group are potentially important considerations in planning higher education. The report compares the Applied, no offer group with other groups of young people. The Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) program provides a rich source of data on young people-their social and educational backgrounds, intentions, Year 12 performance, enrollments in post-school education and training, and labour market activities. The report analyses the LSAY cohort that was first sampled in Year 9 in 1998. Most were in Year 12 in 2001, and their post-school activities were analysed for 2002 and 2003. The report analyses the characteristics and activities of six groups of young people who comprise the LSAY cohort. Appended are: (1) LSAY Data, Sampling and Weights; (2) Variable and Multivariate Analyses; and (3) Supplementary Tables. (Contains 12 tables.)
