This article relates matching problems at the transition to post-compulsory educational courses to the mismatch between educational aspirations and the actual educational pathway. Such a mismatch may arise with regard to transition to general educational courses or to vocational education and training courses at upper secondary level. The article describes which young people are particularly affected by matching problems within the first 18 months of finishing compulsory schooling and the extent to which matching problems change within this period.
