Document Number: 2681 The Forgotten Half Revisited: American Youth and Young Families, 1988-2008 MS Word - The nearly 10 million 18-to-24-year-old Americans who do not go on to college after high school are not doing as well at the end of the 1990s as they were a decade ago. In 1988, these young Americans were the focus of two landmark reports, The Forgotten Half: Non-College Youth in America and The Forgotten Half: Pathway to Success for America's Youth and Young Families. Most key indicators – as examined in essays by 15 prominent experts and commentators on such topics as public schooling, postsecondary education, family life, preparation for employment, youth and community development, and national service – show either disturbing stagnation or, in some areas, marked retrogression. The report is available for $15 from the American Youth Policy Forum, 1836 Jefferson Place, NW, Washington, DC 20036, 202-775-9731; Click here to order.
