Changing Latino Pathways to Adulthood:
More Work, More School - But Gaps Remain
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Latino youths (ages 16 to 25) are more likely to be in school or in
the workforce
now than their counterparts had been in 1970. Yet significant gaps
remain, not only
between the educational attainment of Latino and white youths, but
between the high
value that Latino youths place on a college education and their more
modest aspirations
to get a college degree themselves, according to a pair of analyses of
new survey
data and Census data by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew
Research Center.
A new Pew Hispanic Center nationwide survey of Latinos indicates that
nearly nine
in ten Hispanic youths say that a college education is important for success in
life, but that only about half that share say they themselves plan to
get a college
degree. The biggest reason young Latinos cut their education short is financial
pressure to help support a family. The new survey findings are in the
"Latinos and
Education: Explaining the Attainment Gap"

report.
A supplemental analysis of Census Bureau data from 1970 to 2007, "The
Changing Pathways
of Hispanic Youths Into Adulthood,"
[http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102750571078&s=7870&e=001FJVQKHhyU8XDSeKf8HkaKV0ns2WT0XyYBRLW2QVHWJumRas6KI4nZdYnCKS_ni7njbO1qQJUFemqH_Ilm6NBSmyr9VSSpoq0uAo9hppevdUEtlsrcIqKZS-9Owg05HyhgQqShSOlRjkUL-BXX5yDDso6MvgvBwdf]
finds that Hispanics -- who account for 18% of all youths in the
United States ages
16 to 25, up from 5% in 1970 -- are more likely now than in the past
to be engaged
in skill-building activities such as work or school. However, all youths in the
United States are more likely now than in 1970 to be engaged in school or work,
and the gap between Hispanics and whites on this measure has not closed.
