Abstract

The reflections begin by considering the methodological challenges in undertaking comparative youth transition research as exemplified by the Special Section papers. The paper then moves to the findings of the analysis reported and their interpretation in context. The final sections discuss substantive and methodological issues raised by the research and finish with some conclusions about next steps in what needs to be a continuing comparative programme.
