1. The first cycle of the longitudinal Youth in Transition Survey (YITS) sampled a nationally representative group of 18- to 20-year-olds and determined their status as high school graduates, high school continuers (those still in high school), or high school dropouts as of December 1999. The 24- to 26-year-olds who responded to YITS Cycle 4 six years later represent the original population sampled, but are not representative of all 24- to 26-year-olds in individual provinces or in Canadian provinces as a whole in 2005. For more information on YITS, see the PCEIP 2007 Handbook, Chapter E1 (Statistics Canada and Council of Ministers of Education, Canada. 2007. Education indicators in Canada: Handbook for the Report of the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program. Catalogue no. 81-582-XIE. Ottawa.). 2. Province of interview in 2005. 3. "Additional education" includes one or more of eventual high school completion or its equivalent, some postsecondary education, or postsecondary graduation. Data source: Youth in Transition Survey, Cycle 4, Statistics Canada.
