This report refers to 16- to 24-year-olds, who are not working and not in school. The report reviews “five priority populations,” one of which is older immigrant youth. It discusses the educational challenges for older immigrant youth, many of whom lack sufficient time to learn English and earn the credits required to graduate. As for employment, the report mentions discrimination, geographic and social isolation from potential employers, and low levels of English proficiency as reasons why it is difficult for immigrant youth to find employment.
