Abstract | The Latino population continues to have extremely high dropout rates compared to other racial and ethnic groups. This trend is particularly disturbing given the major demographic changes currently under way in this country, with a disproportionate share of the current and future growth of the U.S. population due to the Latino population. Failure to reduce the dropout rates of Latino youth will have serious consequences in the near future. This article provides an overview of the literature on Latino dropouts as well as research and data needs in the study of this phenomenon. The article also contains a brief discussion of key policy issues that can be addressed with the development of research and data sources focusing on Latino dropouts. The authors conclude with a discussion regarding the urgency in reducing the high Latino dropout rate. (Author). |
