| Abstract: | The 2020 Youth Transition Report underscores the persistent and pernicious gap between youth and young adults with disabilities and those without disabilities on measures of success in education, employment, and poverty. While data and reports exist for the working-age adult population and children with disabilities, the Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) recognized a lack of data reports that specifically focus on the youth and young adult population in the 14-24 age group. IEL's Youth Transition Report addresses that need by presenting an annual snapshot of the outcome gaps between youth and young adults with disabilities and those without disabilities, including those opportunity youth whom the education and workforce systems have not adequately served and supported. This report consists of the disability status of the population; education, employment, and poverty indicators; and a nuanced look at the opportunity youth population. This report explores descriptive status of education and employment for youth and young adults at national and state levels. The 2020 Youth Transition Report is similar to the previous 2019 report; however, this year added a look at poverty rates for youth and young adults with disabilities and removed the comparison of employment data between youth and adults with disabilities. This report also includes calculated data from the National Center for Education Statistics. [For the 2019 report, see ED615624.] |
