equitable access to education and employment for all participants

soziale Inklusion

Equity across groups based on SOGI and race/ethnicity was strongest among the education and employment outcomes. Respondents who are White, cisgender and straight were no more likely than their peers to report at least some post-secondary education or to have completed a postsecondary education. In fact, young people of color who are straight and cisgender reported completing post-secondary at higher levels than their peers who are White, cisgender and straight. Only young people of color who are LGBTQ were less likely than the comparison group to have earned their high school diploma or GED. We did not find significant differences in rates of disconnection from both school and work.

The Jim Casey Initiative is part of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, a private philanthropy that builds a brighter future for the nation’s children and youth by developing solutions to strengthen families; building paths to economic opportunity; and transforming struggling communities into safe and healthy places to live, work, and grow. Established in 2001, the Jim Casey Initiative leverages its hands-on work across 17 states,3 using the latest adolescent brain research and engaging young people to drive state policy and practice improvements that help all young people make successful transitions from foster care to adulthood (The Annie E. Casey Foundation, 2017). This includes a range of strategies to improve outcomes in four priority areas: permanency, stable housing, educational success and economic security, and prevention of early pregnancy and support for young parents.

Quantitative Fragebogenerhebungen (online/telefonisch)
This analysis uses data obtained through follow-up Opportunity Passport Participant Surveys (OPPS) completed by 2,557 young people in April 2017. The April 2017 OPPS represents the first round of survey administration incorporating SOGI questions. […] The LGBTQ sample for the analyses reported in this article consists of young people who reported (1) not identifying with their gender assigned at birth or (2) a sexual orientation other than straight. Those young people who reported that they were unsure of their gender identity or sexual orientation, and those who reported “at times” having a gender identity different from birth or a sexual orientation other than straight, were also included in this group. Ultimately, 17% of the sample, or 426 young people, met these requirements and are considered LGBTQ in the analysis.
