  1. Notes. The table reports estimates of the probability of failure (never transit to employment after leaving school) from a split−cure model, separately by country. A log-log” specification is adopted. In formulas, the probability of never transiting is modeled as exp(−exp(X'b)), where X denotes the covariates. Estimates of the vector b reported in the Table. Dummies for missing value of all included characteristics also included (coefficients not reported). Standard errors in brackets. ***,**,*: significant at 1, 5, and 10 percent level, respectively
