Vulnerable Youth and the Transition to Adulthood: Youth from Low-Income Families

From the Assistant Secretary for Planning, Research and Evaluation, this research brief provides information on the transition to adulthood for vulnerable youth. Specifically, youth from families below 200 percent of the Federal poverty level often lack the resources and opportunities found to lead to better outcomes. Researchers compare significant differences in outcomes of low-income youth to middle-income youth to high-income youth.
