METHODS: Data were retrieved from Statistics Sweden, the Swedish National Agency for Education, the Longitudinal Integrated Database for Health Insurance and Labour Market Studies, the Swedish National Crime Register and the National Patient Register. The four adverse outcomes neither engaging in post-secondary studies nor having a regular salary, needing social benefits, having any criminal conviction, and having a psychiatric disorder at age ≥16 were examined.
RESULTS: Of the final sample of 2706 individuals who had attended 9th grade of compulsory school in 2014, 273 (10%) were ineligible for upper secondary school. Of eligible individuals, 82 (3%) never started, 282 (10%) did not complete and 2065 (77%) completed upper secondary school. Compared with completers, the odds ratios for adverse outcomes were markedly increased for all other groups up to 22 years old.
CONCLUSIONS: Inability to start or complete upper secondary school strongly predicted unemployment and psychosocial and psychiatric adversities. School authorities should consider offering vocational programmes post compulsory school without grade restrictions.
方法:数据来自瑞典统计局,瑞典国家教育局,医疗保险和劳动力市场研究纵向综合数据库,瑞典国家犯罪登记册和国家患者登记册。四个不利结果既不从事中学后研究,也没有固定的工资,需要社会福利,有任何刑事定罪,并检查年龄≥16岁时患有精神疾病。
结果:在2014年义务教育9年级的2706个人的最终样本中,有273人(10%)不符合高中条件。在符合条件的个人中,82(3%)从未开始,282(10%)未完成,2065(77%)完成了高中。与完成者相比,22岁以下所有其他组的不良结局比值比均显著增加.
结论:无法开始或完成高中学业强烈预测了失业以及心理社会和精神病学的逆境。学校当局应考虑在没有年级限制的情况下提供义务教育后的职业课程。
