Missing a Clear Path Forward: Decision Making After High School
April 24, 2025, from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. (ET)
Presented by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the Maryland Council on Economic Education
Want to learn more about this important topic? Educators are invited to join the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the Maryland Council on Economic Education for a professional development seminar on trends in disengaged youth. The event will include a presentation from Claudia Macaluso, a Richmond Fed labor economist, looking into the reasons why many high school students do not see a clear path forward in education or work, and what human capital strategies can be used to address the situation.Disconnected youth are not teenagers who’ve been grounded without internet privileges. They’re between the ages of 16 and 19, they’re not enrolled in school, and they’re unemployed or not in the labor force. These youth are typically thought to be at risk of future low income or even crime. So, it’s important to try to learn something about them, such as how many there are and where they are.
