Preferred term

access to education for low-income youth  

Definition

  • A disproportionate number of people in poverty are youth under the age of 18, many of whom are African American and Latino. As poverty rates grow, educators and social scientists are becoming increasingly aware of how difficult it is for students living in poverty to achieve success in the American educational system.
