Trajectories of self-rated health and subjective well-being by state reached after school-leave. Data set: NEPS SC4, SUF 12.0.0. Adjusted predictions at the mean (APMs) and 95% confidence intervals of ten linear fixed-effect regressions with cluster-robust standard errors. n = number of individuals. Time-varying controls: Region and household composition. Red horizontal line represents predicted averages of health and well-being during school. To test how different states entered after school-leave affected trajectories of health and well-being, fixed-effects impact functions were estimated stratified by state reached in the year “0”. For transitions to “inactivity”, no subplot is shown. For the sample of university students, no estimate was calculable for year 6 or higher due to low case number
