“…The gender-specific findings among females that peer problems and more pro-social behaviour are significant for non-completion of upper secondary school should encourage more focus on young females with social problems and extensive social engagement. The social problems and social engagement can reduce their potential to complete school [ 9 , 10 ] and later pursue employment opportunities, personal well-being and better health [ 1 ]. Females with emotional problems, such as anxiety and depression, are troubled mentally, and still manage to stay in school and complete upper secondary school [ 7 , 14 ].…”

“…Breslau et al [ 14 ] suggested that internalizing symptoms such as depression does not influence youngsters’ completion of upper secondary school, while other studies show a significant association between early adolescents depressive symptoms and later non-completion of upper secondary school [ 3 , 12 ]. In studies of younger adolescents, deviant behaviour such as poor conduct are contributing factors to non-completion of upper secondary school by obstructing educational achievements [ 3 , 9 ].…”

BackgroundEducation is closely associated with health. Non-completion of upper secondary school influences academic achievement, employment, income and personal well-being.The purpose of the study is to explore predictors of non-completion of upper secondary school among female and male young adults in relation to mental health and educational factors in a socio-cultural, Arctic context.MethodsThe Norwegian Arctic Adolescent Health Study (NAAHS) is a cross-sectional, school-based survey that was conducted in 2003–2005. Eighty-three percent of the population of 5,877 10th graders participated; 49.1%females, 450 reported indigenous Sami ethnicity, and 304 reported Laestadian affiliation. Data from NAAHS were merged with registry data from the National Education Database (NUDB) Norway for 3,987 adolescents who gave their consent for follow-up studies.ResultsNon-completion of upper secondary school was 36.9 % among females and 36.6 % among males. Among females, predictors for non-completion were related to mental health symptoms, and among males, to residency in the northernmost and remote areas and self-reported functional difficulties at school, home and in leisure activities due to mental health problems.There was marginal significance between ethnicity and non-completion of upper secondary school, measured at 41.3 % for Sami and 36.8 % for non-Sami, respectively.ConclusionsThe gender differences found in this study emphasize the need for gender-specific interventions in preventing non-completion of upper secondary school. There is a need to recognize and treat extensive pro-social behaviour and social problems in young females. Young males from remote areas and those who in early adolescence struggle with functional impairment due to mental health problems need early interventions in lower secondary school. Enhancing parents’ and teachers’ ability to detect symptoms and problems as well as low-threshold health services starting in primary school can be effective means. Education, mental health and social inclusion are prominent factors for future employment, income and independent living for young people. Future research should focus more on gender-specific patterns of risk and protective factors for completion of upper secondary school.

This paper presents a bibliometric analysis focused on the research domain of school dropout. Over the course of time, nations across the globe have come to acknowledge the significance of this phenomenon and have made concerted efforts to gain deeper insights into it, with the aim of mitigating the associated risks. Consequently, it has become evident that the origins of this phenomenon can be traced back to a child's formative years, and, once identified, it can be ameliorated through the implementation of an array of mitigation strategies. Therefore, the principal objective of this paper is to navigate the body of work published in connection with the school dropout phenomenon, shedding light on the research community's interest in this subject. Our investigation was inaugurated by assembling a comprehensive dataset encompassing 1,592 papers sourced from the ISI Web of Science database, spanning the years from 1976 to 2022. Notably, the research community has exhibited a significant level of engagement with this research area, as evidenced by a robust annual growth rate of 11.14%. To uncover emerging research trajectories, we conducted an exhaustive examination of keyword usage. Moreover, we delved into the intricate web of collaborative relationships among authors, identifying the most prolific contributors to this field. Furthermore, we conducted a meticulous analysis of the most salient papers within this domain, and, for enhanced elucidation, we have presented a review of the top-10 most cited works, thereby spotlighting the prevailing research directions that have captured the attention of scholars hailing from diverse corners of the world. The results of our analysis reveal a burgeoning global interest in the school dropout phenomenon over time.
