Introduction
This section selects some of the overarching literature reviews that have been carried out down the years to chronicle the development of careers research.
There has consistently been a push to both summarise progress by demonstrating the impact of CEIAG, and highlighting the status of knowledge and the gaps.
Therefore, this "potted history" helps to provide milestones, consider trends, progress. and emerging themes that relate to environmental challenges or trends of a given time.
We have noted the focus and scope of each review, and tended to focus here on reviews that span user-groups, modalities and geographies (e.g. all stages of education, rather than reviews into just "secondary education", say, which are found in the separate pages of this resource).
Sources are split into two sections below: "Meta/literature reviews of CEIAG effectiveness" focusses more on the impacts of interventions and practices, while "Country/regional profiles" captures country level analysis of systems, though we acknowledge some source straddle both.
