The Forgotten Half: Pathways to Success for America's Youth and Young Families.
Phi Delta Kappan, v70 n4 p280-89 Dec 1988
Young adults without a college education and their families are suffering declining economic status and diminished opportunities. Real incomes of males aged 20-24 years fell 25 percent between 1973 and 1986. Inspired by time-tested alternative paths to work and learning recommended by Howard Gardner, the Grant Commission on Work, Family, and Citizenship is addressing the nation's "forgotten half." (MLH)
