KIDS COUNT Report: 6.5 Million Youth and Young Adults Neither Working Nor in School

Youth have more difficulty gaining a foothold in the U.S. labor market than at any time since the 1950s, according to a new KIDS COUNT policy report published by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

The report, Youth and Work: Restoring Teen and Young Adult Connections to Opportunity, estimates that nearly 6.5 million young people between the ages of 16 and 24 are disconnected from both school and the workforce.  It also identifies six recommendations for creating multiple pathways to success for disconnected youth.
