important topic; needs link to sociology of youth literature
[edit]Hello - I was searching for articles for my students to work on in our Global Youth Studies course. This page appears to be based on a term of one published report and lacks a global perspective. Might the contents be merged with or placed in conversation with NEET and better wikilinked? Both the NEET article and this one lack the truly global framing of youth unemployment found in Youth unemployment. That said, there is some useful information in this article and the report looks intriguing. Prof.Vandegrift (talk) 16:32, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
Asians do not exist
[edit]At over 8% of the population and still growing faster than any other race, the total denial that Asians even exist is a bit misplaced in the year 2024. The data shown on the chart really needs to be updated to reflect that Asians...I dunno...exist. PhilHudson82 (talk) 19:57, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
37450USD Figure in Lede
[edit]The source:
puts a somewhat exorbitant figure on the cost of supporting disconnected youth. When I checked the source, it was mostly paywalled and the most important part could not be checked. What was visible, however, was an outsized focus on San Joaquin Valley in California. With factors like rural distances, case workers per youth and state cost of living, this may not be representative of the entire US. Can someone with access check this? -- sarysa (talk) 21:36, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
