Despite the overall economic gains in the 1990s, many young black men continue to have the poorest life chances of anyone in our society. Joblessness and low earnings among these lesseducated young adults are contributing to reductions in marriage, increases in nonmarital childbearing, and a host of other social problems. In Black Males Left Behind, Ronald Mincy has assembled a distinguished group of experts who examine how lesseducated black men fared relative to other lesseducated young people during the economic expansion of the 1990s and why. Chapters explore the roles of the macroeconomy, the deconcentration of bluecollar employment, criminal justice policy, and the employment aspirations of young lesseducated black men and consider their implications for the design of employment services, welfaretowork policies, workforce development policy, and child support enforcement. Two chapters comprehensively review policy opportunities to assist lesseducated young black fathers and discuss how to overcome political resistance to initiatives serving lesseducated black men. This book makes a compelling case for greater public attention to a serious domestic problem.
