The survey was conducted by the Liberia Election Observation Network (LEON) between January 24 and February 7, 2020  to  find out some basic facts about when young people are likely to leave school,  what sort of job prospects they might have depending on their educational level, what sort of job prospects they would like to have, and what might encourage them to go further with their education. As well as surveying a random selection of young people, LEON also conducted surveys of particularly marginalised youths  – sex workers and drug users – to find out their specific attitudes, behaviour’s and needs. A total of 6400 young people between the ages of 11 and 34 were interviewed for this survey of whom 666 were sex workers, 1378 were drug users and 4356 were randomly selected in areas where young people congregate.
