In 2011 the National Institute of Statistics (Istat) led the fifth edition on the survey Courses of study and work of the high diploma holders, which had as its object the cohort of 2007 high school diploma holders, interviewed four years since graduating.
The questionnaire consists of eight thematic sections, which are further articulated within, and it is structured in such a way to ensure comparability with the information collected in the other surveys on the transition (graduates, PhD), and the integration with other sources, particularly with the Labour Forces Survey.
