Abstract
We found low readiness for independent living and that the young people greatly need help, particularly those with lower educational achievements. Social support resources were positively associated with readiness and negatively with levels of need. It is therefore, necessary to plan carefully the preparation of youth for leaving care. The plan should also include a safety net to help care leavers cope with the new challenges of independent living after leaving care.
