Next Generation Workforce

  Growing up has a lot of firsts: first dance, first day of high school, and first job. The work that young people do often defines their role in the world. The forces that shape the work world--be they market, laws, or societal trends--can determine a teen's future. We've gathered our best reporting on the impact that employment issues have on youth here. Dive into stories of opportunities found... and lost. This coverage is funded in part by the Citi Foundation’s Pathways to Progress initiative, which is preparing young people in the U.S. and around the globe for today’s competitive job market.
