Millions of youth are neither in school nor working, falling through the cracks of the various systems put in place to help them transition into adulthood. The spread of COVID-19 will become another barrier in these young people’s lives as they pursue economic independence.

On this episode, Brent talks to Anne Kim, author of “Abandoned: America’s Lost Youth and the Crisis of Disconnection”. Together, they discuss the runway to adulthood, the role of public policy, and the potential impact of a global virus on emerging adults.
