By several recent counts, the United States is home to 2 to 3 million youth age 16 through 24 who are out of school and out of work Much has been written on disadvantaged youth, and government policy has gone through many incarnations, yet questions remain unanswered. Why are so many young people disconnected, and what can public policy do about it? And why has disconnection become more common for young menparticularly AfricanAmerican men and lowincome menthan for young women? In Reconnecting Disadvantaged Young Men, Edelman, Holzer, and Offner offer analysis and policy prescriptions to solve this growing crisis. They carefully examine field programs and research studies and recommend specific strategies to enhance education, training, and employment opportunities for disadvantaged youth; to improve the incentives of lessskilled young workers to accept employment; and to address the severe barriers and disincentives faced by some youth, such as exoffenders and noncustodial fathers. The result is a clear guidebook for policymakers, and an important distillation for anyone interested in the plight of todays disconnected youth. With a foreword by Hugh Price, former President and CEO, National Urban League
