| dc.description.abstract | The paper examines career choice at age 16 in Northern Ireland using micro data for
young people completing compulsory education in 1993. Explanatory variables include resource related school characteristics, ethos-related characteristics and peer-group factors. The results suggest resources, ethos and peer group effects all play a significant role in career choice at age 16. Some of these factors, including pupil/teacher ratios, act in opposite directions on the probability of entry into Further Education College and of staying-on at school, suggesting studies of school quality on choice at age 16 should disaggregate post-compulsory education where possible. | en |
