The objective of this research article is to study the duration of transition and factors associated with the type of employment transition of young adults in Thailand. The data for this study were obtained from Study and Analysis of the Entry into the Labor Market and Employment of the Youth Workers in Thailand, supported by the Ministry of Labor and conducted by the Institute for Population and Social Research, Chulalongkorn University. The study population consisted of young workers aged 15-35 years. The research tool used was the school-to-work transition survey (SWTS) developed by the International Labor Organization (ILO). The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis. The findings of this study revealed that the duration of transition for early career workers was 36.5 months, which is equivalent to more than 3 years. Furthermore, factors related to the type of job transition for early career workers included demographic factors such as marital status, educational level, and geographical location, as well as family factors such as the occupation of their parents.
