This report presents the results of research on young people’s education and employment pathways from compulsory school to young adulthood in Switzerland. The data for this research has been provided by the TREE panel study (“Transitions from Education to Employment”). The analyses are based on data from the first eight panel waves from 2001 to 2010. The report focuses on the educational pathways that the PISA 2000/TREE cohort has pursued until 2010. A second report addressing in-depth the various aspects of their labour market experience (e.g., income, unemployment, precarious employment etc.) is currently in preparation. This report of results is organised as follows: Section 2 gives a brief overview of the goals, design, meth- odology and implementation of the TREE study. Section 3 is devoted to the respondents’ education and employment pathways since completing compulsory education in 2000. Section 4 focuses on their educational attainment by 2010. In addition to a general description across all respondents, this section gives a more detailed account of how individual and achievement-related characteristics of the respondents and specifics of the Swiss language regions influence educational attainment (Sections 4.1 to 4.5). Section 4.6 takes into consideration that a substantial part of the respondents were still in education even ten years after leaving compulsory education and asks how this can be expected to affect their final level of educational attainment in the future. In Section 4.7, TREE’s findings on educational attainment will be compared with those of other studies. The report concludes by giving a brief outlook on the future of TREE. For more detailed findings drawing on the earlier panel waves, interested readers may consult the numerous in-depth analyses that the project has published in recent years (see references, p. 24). Many of these publications are available for download on the project website (www.tree.unibas.ch). This report continues where the earlier synopses by Meyer (2005), Bertschy, Böni and Meyer (2007) and Keller, Hupka-Brunner & Meyer (2010), based on previous TREE panel data, left off.
